Coach Talk

Rookie Mistakes
Identifying mismatches is a big component to winning in football. We really emphasized that by tripling A Few Good Men at running back this past week (30.8 points to 9.6).
A Few Good Men
Well, we can't really gripe about a shortage of opportunities this week, can we? As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR and one TE) collectively saw a hearty 23 targets in Week 6. With just 14 total receptions, this group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
