Coach Talk

Chris's Team
You know, the key to football is exploiting the mismatches. Thanks to stellar showings by Julio Jones and Chris Godwin, our squad really took that to heart this past week. We doubled up Eli Manning Sucks at wide receiver (65.7 points to 28). Jones had 106 receiving yards and two TDs while Godwin logged 121 yards.
Eli Manning Sucks
Unless Eli Manning Sucks wants to go full diva-mode, then "not getting enough chances" cannot be an excuse this time around. As a group, our trio of pass-catchers (two WR and one TE) were targeted a grand total of 27 times in Week 2. Chemistry could be an issue, as that group hauled in only 16 catches.
