Coach Talk

Chris's Team
Football is all about exploiting the mismatches. Thanks to stellar outings by Julio Jones and Chris Godwin, our squad really took that to heart this past week. We utterly dominated Robin's Hoods at wide receiver (40.5 points to 11.2). Jones had 152 receiving yards while Godwin chipped in with 43 yards.
Robin's Hoods
So, Robin's Hoods, did your receiving crew drop too many balls in practice or something? Seeing just 12 targets combined this past week, our three starting pass-catchers (two WR, one TE) clearly need to get on their QBs' good sides this week in practice.
