Coach Talk

Injury Prone
Creating mismatches is a huge key to success in football. Case in point: we really took that to heart by royally dominating Insanity at running back this past week (78.9 points to 22.33).
Insanity
Unless Insanity wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not seeing enough looks" doesn't fly as an excuse this week. Our three wide receivers collectively got a grand total of 22 targets in Week 10. With just 13 total receptions, this group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
