Coach Talk

Fat Samurai
Creating mismatches is a big key to success in football. We really took that to heart this week by nearly quadrupling FtheRefs at the wide receiver position (37.25 points to 9.5).
FtheRefs
Unless FtheRefs wants to go full diva-mode, then "not getting enough opportunities" won't cut it as an excuse this time around. As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR and one TE) collectively received a healthy 30 targets in Week 1. Timing and chemistry seem to be issues as that group tallied just 13 receptions.
