Coach Talk

aeneas1
The key to success in football is identifying the mismatches. Thanks to a solid display from Deshaun Watson, we doubled up CardinalFan at the quarterback position this past week (27.22 points to 12.31). Watson cruised through the Chargers secondary to the tune of 351 yards and three passing touchdowns.
CardinalFan
Well, we can't really whine about a lack of opportunities this week, can we? Our five pass-catchers (four WR and one TE) collectively saw a grand total of 36 targets in Week 3. With just 22 total catches, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
