Coach Talk

Cleveland Bland
You know, this sport is all about exploiting the mismatches. Our team took that to heart this past week and doubled up Peppers 🌶 🌶 at the quarterback position (99.94 points to 42.9).
Peppers 🌶 🌶
Unless Peppers 🌶 🌶 wants to go full diva-mode, then "not getting many chances" is not a reasonable excuse this time around. As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR and one TE) were targeted a healthy 27 times in Week 2. Those players should spend extra practice time working with their QBs, considering they hauled in only 16 receptions.
