Coach Talk

SATX Moonmen
Hey, the key to football is creating mismatches, right? We really took that to heart this week by doubling up KGG FB at the wide receiver position (41 points to 17).
KGG FB
Welp, we can't really whine about a lack of opportunities this week, can we? Our pass-catching corps (three WR and one TE) were targeted a whopping 35 times in Week 1. With just 18 total catches, this group may have some chemistry issues.
