Coach Talk

Da Purps
The key to success in football is creating mismatches. Fueled by stellar numbers from our receiving corps, our squad really took that to heart this past week. We doubled up Kirk's Standout Team at wide receiver (56.7 points to 27.4). Mike Evans had 190 receiving yards and three TDs while Julian Edelman logged 62 yards.
Kirk's Standout Team
Well, we certainly can't complain about a shortage of opportunities this week, can we? As a group, our pass-catching corps (two WR and one TE) were targeted a healthy 30 times in Week 3. Chemistry and timing seem to be issues as that group pulled down only 18 receptions.
