Coach Talk

The Eli Face
Hey, football is all about exploiting the mismatches. We really took that to heart this week by doubling up Generic Team Eric at the wide receiver position (50.1 points to 21.2).
Generic Team Eric
Yo, Generic Team Eric, what'd your pass-catchers do to get written out of their teams' game plans this week? With only 19 targets as a group this past week, our starting receiver crew (four WR, one TE) obviously need to get on their QBs' good sides this week in practice.
