Coach Talk

Dustin's Team
This sport is all about exploiting the mismatches. Fueled by stellar showings by Calvin Ridley and Tyler Lockett, our squad really took that to heart this past week. We tripled Castor Troy v25 at wide receiver (42.6 points to 13.4). Ridley had 130 receiving yards and two TDs while Lockett chipped in with 92 yards.
Castor Troy v25
Well, we can't really complain about a shortage of opportunities this time, can we? As a group, our trio of pass-catchers (two WR, one TE) collectively received a grand total of 21 targets in Week 1. Those players should spend extra practice time working with their QBs, considering they pulled down only 10 receptions.
