Coach Talk

BallGrabbers
Hey, this sport is all about exploiting the mismatches, right? We really took that to heart this week by nearly tripling Finkle & Einhorn at the wide receiver position (38.84 points to 13.05).
Finkle & Einhorn
Well, we certainly can't complain about a shortage of opportunities this time, can we? As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR and one TE) were targeted a grand total of 31 times in Week 6. Those players should spend extra practice time working with their QBs, considering they hauled in only 17 balls.
