Coach Talk

Bos500
Hey, football is all about finding the mismatches, right? Thanks to a sound display from Russell Wilson, we doubled up Castor Troy v25 at the quarterback position this past week (32.92 points to 16.38). Wilson went 33-for-50 for 388 yards, three TDs, and three INTs in a 37-34 loss to the Cardinals.
Castor Troy v25
Welp, we can't really complain about a shortage of opportunities this time, can we? As a group, our pass-catching corps (two WR, one TE) were targeted a respectable 20 times in Week 7. Chemistry and timing seem to be issues as that group hauled in just 12 receptions.
