Coach Talk

David Dennison
Hey, the key to football is exploiting the mismatches. We really took that to heart this week by thoroughly dominating Pray for Pepe at the wide receiver position (44.2 points to 12).
Pray for Pepe
Yo, Pray for Pepe, what did your receiving crew do to irk their quarterbacks this week? Accumulating just 12 total targets this past week, our four starting pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) obviously need to get in their respective QBs' ears this week in practice.
