Coach Talk

Paul's Perfect Team
Hey, the key to football is exploiting the mismatches. We really took that to heart this week by doubling up Chubby Chasers at the wide receiver position (43.1 points to 18.4).
Chubby Chasers
Well, we certainly can't gripe about a shortage of opportunities this week, can we? Our pass-catching corps (three WR, one TE) were targeted a hearty 25 times in Week 5. Timing and chemistry seem to be issues as that group hauled in only 15 receptions.
