Coach Talk

Saved by L. Bell
Identifying mismatches is a huge key to success in football. We not only doubled up Montgomery County at WR (25.8 points to 12.2), we also doubled them at QB (34.5 points to 15.3).
Montgomery County
Unless Montgomery County wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not seeing enough chances" cannot be an excuse this time around. Our pass-catching corps (three WR and one TE) collectively got a healthy 21 targets in Week 3. With only eight total catches, this group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
