Coach Talk

Tony b's storm
This sport is all about exploiting the mismatches. We really took that to heart this week by doubling up deepball at the wide receiver position (68.5 points to 33).
deepball
Welp, we certainly can't complain about a shortage of opportunities this time, can we? As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR and one TE) were targeted a grand total of 33 times in Week 5. With only 17 total catches, this group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
