Coach Talk

Downtown Throwdown
Spotting mismatches is a big component to winning in football. We really took that to heart this week by doubling up Riverboat Rob at the wide receiver position (52.1 points to 23.4).
Riverboat Rob
Hey, Riverboat Rob, what did your pass-catchers do to annoy their quarterbacks this week? Accumulating just 17 targets as a group this past week, our starting receiver crew (four WR, one TE) clearly got on the bad side of their respective QBs.
