Coach Talk

Lords of Football
Creating mismatches is a big component to winning in football. We really took that to heart this week by soundly outplaying Third and Shlong at the wide receiver position (43.41 points to 16.26).
Third and Shlong
Well, we certainly can't complain about a shortage of opportunities this time, can we? As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR and two TE) were targeted a grand total of 23 times in Week 11. With only 12 total receptions, this group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
