Coach Talk

TX4vida
The key to success in football is exploiting the mismatches. We really took that to heart this week by doubling up Greathope4Houston at the wide receiver position (52.7 points to 24.6).
Greathope4Houston
Ugh, talk about under-utilized. The starting backfield for Greathope4Houston collectively recorded just three targets this past week. Instruct those offensive coordinators to set up a screen play or two in Week 6!
