Coach Talk

This is the end
Hey, football is all about finding the mismatches. We really took that to heart this week by thoroughly dominating Fournettecation at the wide receiver position (86.1 points to 24.22).
Fournettecation
Hey, Fournettecation, what did your pass-catchers do to irk their quarterbacks this week? Seeing just 20 total targets in Week 6, our starting receiver crew (four WR, one TE) clearly need to get the attention of their respective offensive coordinators this week in practice.
