Coach Talk

London Gentlemen
A big key to success in football is exploiting the mismatches. Thanks to stellar showings by Amari Cooper and JuJu Smith-Schuster, our squad really took that to heart this past week. We thoroughly dominated Gritz Blitz at wide receiver (45 points to 6). Cooper had 217 receiving yards and three TDs while Smith-Schuster logged 130 yards and two scores.
Gritz Blitz
Unless Gritz Blitz wants to go full diva-mode, then "not getting many looks" is not an excuse this week. As a group, our pass-catching corps (two WR and one TE) were targeted a hearty 20 times in Week 14. Those players might need to hit the practice field, considering they tallied just 11 receptions.
