Coach Talk

Iggles
Creating mismatches is a big component to winning in football. Our team found one this past week and literally doubled up Michael's Misfits at the quarterback position (50.52 points to 21.9).
Michael's Misfits
"Not getting enough chances" really isn't an excuse this week for Michael's Misfits. As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR, two TE) combined to receive a grand total of 31 targets in Week 6. Those players should participate in some additional timing drills with their QBs, considering they notched only 12 catches.
