Coach Talk

Redskin Mark 6
Hey, the key to football is creating mismatches, right? Our team took that to heart this past week and doubled up Swizzle Stix at the quarterback position (1,400 points to 636).
Swizzle Stix
Unless Swizzle Stix wants to go full diva-mode, then "not seeing enough opportunities" is definitely not an excuse this week. Our pass-catching corps (four WR and one TE) were targeted a grand total of 21 times in Week 2. Chemistry could be a problem, as that group hauled in just 11 catches.
