Coach Talk

Jiri's Team
Identifying mismatches is a huge key to success in football. We really took that to heart this week by thoroughly outplaying Vinohrady Devils at the wide receiver position (75.7 points to 27.6).
Vinohrady Devils
Well, we can't really complain about a lack of opportunities this week, can we? Our four pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) collectively got a grand total of 30 targets in Week 1. With just 18 total receptions, this group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
