Coach Talk

The Ghost of Bob
Hey, exploiting mismatches is the key to football, right? We really took that to heart this week by tripling Lee's Super Bad Aces at the wide receiver position (74.1 points to 21.8).
Lee's Super Bad Aces
Welp, we can't really complain about a lack of opportunities this time, can we? As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR and one TE) were targeted a grand total of 21 times in Week 3. Chemistry could be a problem, as that group managed only 13 receptions.
