Coach Talk

Brewmasters
A big key to success in football is exploiting the mismatches. Thanks to an awesome display from Matt Ryan, we thoroughly dominated Cocks at the quarterback position this past week (41.2 points to 15.05). Ryan went 32-for-46 for 330 yards, three TDs, and an INT in a 53-32 loss to the Texans.
Cocks
Yo, Cocks, what did your pass-catchers do to annoy their quarterbacks this week? Accumulating just 18 total targets in Week 5, our starting receiver crew (four WR, one TE) clearly need to get in their respective QBs' ears this week in practice.
