Coach Talk

Beetles mom
Hey, the key to football is spotting and exploiting the mismatches. Fueled by an awesome display by Deshaun Watson, we tripled The Dirty Hippies at the quarterback position this past week (37.72 points to 12.06). Watson went 20-for-30 for 268 yards, three TDs, and an INT in a 30-28 loss to the Saints.
The Dirty Hippies
The Dirty Hippies will find it tough to gripe about lack of opportunities this past week. Our pass-catching corps (four WR and one TE) combined to see a hearty 23 targets in Week 1. With just 12 total catches, that group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
