Coach Talk

DA BEARS
Hey, exploiting mismatches is the key to football, right? We really took that to heart this week by tripling Reaper Crew at the wide receiver position (34.9 points to 11.48).
Reaper Crew
Yo, Reaper Crew, what did your receiving crew do to get written out of their teams' game plans this week? With just 15 total targets this past week, our four starting pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) obviously need to get on their QBs' good sides this week in practice.
