Coach Talk

Shock and Awe
Hey, football is all about exploiting the mismatches. We really took that to heart this week by nearly tripling Gulf War Warriors at the wide receiver position (57.76 points to 20.2).
Gulf War Warriors
Unless Gulf War Warriors wants to go full diva-mode, then "not getting enough looks" is not an excuse this week. Our pass-catching corps (four WR, one TE) were targeted a healthy 35 times in Week 10. Those players should spend extra practice time working with their QBs, considering they recorded only 21 receptions.
