Coach Talk

Yeni's Fine Team
You know, this sport is all about spotting (and then exploiting) the mismatches. Fueled by stellar showings by Calvin Ridley and Tyler Lockett, our team really took that to heart this past week. We royally dominated Can u Digg it at wide receiver (25.3 points to 9.6). Ridley had 64 receiving yards while Lockett logged 44 yards.
Can u Digg it
Welp, we can't really complain about a lack of opportunities this week, can we? As a group, our pass-catching corps (two WR, one TE) were targeted a healthy 13 times in Week 1. With just eight total catches, this group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
