Coach Talk

🏈Gridiron & Wine 🍷
Hey, this sport is all about exploiting the mismatches. Not only did we double up Slow Clap at WR (65.6 points to 30.6), we also doubled them at RB (56.9 to 23.6).
Slow Clap
Unless Slow Clap wants to go full diva-mode, then "not getting enough chances" is definitely not an excuse this time around. Our five pass-catchers (four WR, one TE) combined to see a respectable 48 targets in Week 1. With only 26 total receptions, this group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
