Coach Talk

Da Purps
You know, the key to football is spotting and exploiting the mismatches. We really took that to heart this week by nearly tripling Wookies Revenge at the wide receiver position (65.9 points to 23.6).
Wookies Revenge
Unless Wookies Revenge wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not seeing many opportunities" doesn't fly as an excuse this week. Our four pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) were targeted a grand total of 33 times in Week 9. With only 15 total catches, this group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
