Coach Talk

The BEER MAN
Hey, finding mismatches is the key to football, right? We really took that to heart this week by utterly dominating methylated spirits at the wide receiver position (41.28 points to 8.66).
methylated spirits
methylated spirits will find it tough to gripe about lack of opportunities this past week. Our four pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) were targeted a grand total of 18 times in Week 5. With just 11 total receptions, this group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
