Coach Talk

FF5
Spotting mismatches is a huge component to winning in football. We really took that to heart this week by royally dominating FtheRefs at the wide receiver position (39.1 points to 6.65).
FtheRefs
With three receptions on only four measly targets this past week, the starting running backs for FtheRefs should investigate why their QBs are giving them the silent treatment.
