Coach Talk

Down South Hustler
A big key to success in football is exploiting the mismatches. Thanks to a solid performance by Kyler Murray, we nearly tripled Gridiron Gang at the quarterback position this past week (33.07 points to 11.68). Murray went 9-for-24 for 188 yards and two TDs (plus no INTs) in a 38-10 win over the Cowboys.
Gridiron Gang
Well, we can't really complain about a lack of opportunities this week, can we? As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) collectively got a grand total of 26 targets in Week 6. Chemistry could be the primary issue, as that group managed only 16 receptions.
