Coach Talk

Vandals
Creating mismatches is a huge component to winning in football. Thanks to a solid outing from Ben Roethlisberger, we almost quadrupled Team Tadlock at the quarterback position this past week (40.65 points to 10.8). Roethlisberger went 27-for-46 for 333 yards and four TDs in a 36-10 win over the Bengals.
Team Tadlock
Well, we certainly can't complain about a lack of opportunities this time, can we? As a group, our pass-catching corps (four WR, one TE) were targeted a respectable 36 times in Week 10. Chemistry could be an issue, as that group managed just 22 receptions.
