Coach Talk

BLAZER$$
You know, football is all about exploiting the mismatches. We really took that to heart this week by doubling up DONT ERRTZ ME at the wide receiver position (28.7 points to 13.5).
DONT ERRTZ ME
Unless DONT ERRTZ ME wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not seeing enough chances" is definitely not an excuse this week. Our four pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) were targeted a healthy 36 times in Week 11. Those players might need to get some extra reps with the JUGS machine, considering they recorded only 21 receptions.
