Coach Talk

Canadian all star
Hey, finding mismatches is the key to football, right? Thanks to an awesome display by Drew Brees, we quadrupled Superman's Team at the quarterback position this past week (26.8 points to 6.46). Brees went 32-for-43 for 370 yards, two TDs, and an INT in a two-point triumph over the Texans.
Superman's Team
Unless Superman's Team wants to go full diva-mode, then "not seeing many opportunities" won't cut it as an excuse this time around. Our pass-catching corps (three WR and one TE) were targeted a grand total of 36 times in Week 1. Those players might need to get some extra reps with the JUGS machine, considering they pulled down only 21 catches.
