Coach Talk

BeastMode Training
The key to success in football is creating mismatches. We made that a point of emphasis by doubling up Thats Weird at running back this past week (40.7 points to 18.1).
Thats Weird
Unless Thats Weird wants to go full diva-mode, then "not seeing many looks" isn't really an excuse this week. As a group, our pass-catching corps (four WR, one TE) combined to get a respectable 35 targets in Week 1. Chemistry and timing seem to be issues as that group pulled down only 20 balls.
