Coach Talk

Dirty Hippies
Hey, the key to football is exploiting the mismatches. We really took that to heart this week by royally dominating Whackers at the wide receiver position (94.6 points to 36.4).
Whackers
Welp, we certainly can't complain about a shortage of opportunities this week, can we? As a group, our pass-catching corps (five WR and one TE) collectively received a grand total of 31 targets in Week 10. Those players might need to get some extra reps with the JUGS machine, considering they notched only 17 receptions.
