Coach Talk

Heathens
The key to success in football is creating mismatches. Thanks to a solid outing by Jared Goff, we absolutely dominated Shot Gun Sally at the quarterback position this past week (49.95 points to 5.65). Goff went 21-for-30 for 309 yards, two TDs, and an INT in a 30-10 win over the Football Team.
Shot Gun Sally
Well, we can't really complain about a shortage of opportunities this time, can we? Our pass-catching corps (four WR and one TE) were targeted a respectable 31 times in Week 5. Chemistry could be an issue, as that group tallied only 19 catches.
