Coach Talk

Doo Doo Browns
You know, this sport is all about exploiting the mismatches. We really took that to heart by doubling up Yobogoya! at running back this past week (27.7 points to 13.4).
Yobogoya!
Unless Yobogoya! wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not seeing many looks" doesn't fly as an excuse this time around. Our pass-catching corps (three WR, one TE) were targeted a respectable 35 times in Week 8. With just 19 total receptions, that group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
