Coach Talk

Zimmreapers
A big key to success in football is creating mismatches. Thanks to an awesome showing from Russell Wilson, we doubled up Vinny's Crusaders at the quarterback position this past week (74 points to 32). Wilson went 27-for-37 for 261 yards and four TDs (plus no INTs) in a 37-27 win over the 49ers.
Vinny's Crusaders
Unless Vinny's Crusaders wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not getting enough chances" doesn't fly as an excuse this time around. Our six pass-catchers (five WR and one TE) collectively received a respectable 45 targets in Week 8. With just 27 total catches, that group may have some chemistry issues.
