Coach Talk

Tyler's Tip-Top Team
Creating mismatches is a big component to winning in football. We really took that to heart this week by thoroughly outplaying Red Storm at the wide receiver position (95.2 points to 36.2).
Red Storm
Unless Red Storm wants to go full diva-mode, then "not getting enough chances" won't cut it as an excuse this week. Our four pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) combined to get a grand total of 24 targets in Week 3. Those players might need to get some extra reps with the JUGS machine, considering they hauled in just 12 receptions.
