Coach Talk

Deadlyhamma
This sport is all about spotting the mismatches. Fueled by a solid performance by Mitchell Trubisky, we doubled up Al's Annihilators at the quarterback position this past week (43.34 points to 21.28). Trubisky went 22-for-31 for 316 yards, three TDs, and an INT in a 31-28 loss to the Dolphins.
Al's Annihilators
Well, we can't really gripe about a lack of opportunities this time, can we? Our four pass-catchers (three WR and one TE) collectively saw a healthy 31 targets in Week 6. Chemistry appears to be an issue, as that group hauled in only 14 receptions.
