Coach Talk

Slam Diego
Hey, this sport is all about finding and exploiting the mismatches, right? We really took that to heart by thoroughly dominating A YoungHoe Foo at running back this past week (60.2 points to 12.8).
A YoungHoe Foo
"Not seeing enough opportunities" really isn't an excuse this week for A YoungHoe Foo. As a group, our pass-catching corps (four WR, one TE) were targeted a healthy 25 times in Week 8. With just 14 total catches, that group may have some chemistry issues.
