Coach Talk

Throwball Champ
Hey, creating mismatches is the key to football, right? Not only did we quadruple San Diego Crush at WR (57.9 points to 12.9), we also utterly dominated them at RB (75 to 10.4).
San Diego Crush
San Diego Crush will find it tough to gripe about lack of opportunity this past week. Our three wide receivers were targeted a whopping 13 times in Week 9. Chemistry seems to be an issue, as that group managed just seven receptions.
