Coach Talk

Nuk Nuk Jokes
This sport is all about creating mismatches. Thanks to a solid display by Josh Allen, we almost tripled I Shot Plaxico at the quarterback position this past week (26.75 points to 9.7). Allen went 26-for-41 for 263 yards, two TDs, and two INTs in a 42-16 loss to the Titans.
I Shot Plaxico
Unless I Shot Plaxico wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not seeing many looks" won't cut it as an excuse this time around. As a group, our pass-catching corps (four WR, one TE) were targeted a whopping 34 times in Week 5. With just 17 total catches, this group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
