Coach Talk

Wicked Clowns
Hey, finding mismatches is the key to football, right? Thanks to an awesome showing from Kyler Murray, we doubled up Dee's Wonderful Team at the quarterback position this past week (37.1 points to 15.62). Murray went 34-for-48 for 360 yards, three TDs, and an INT in a 37-34 win over the Seahawks.
Dee's Wonderful Team
Unless Dee's Wonderful Team wants to go full diva-mode, then "not seeing enough chances" doesn't fly as an excuse this week. As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR, one TE) collectively saw a hearty 17 targets in Week 7. Those players might need to get some extra reps with the JUGS machine, considering they recorded only eight receptions.
