Coach Talk

Kaiju hitman
Creating mismatches is a big key to success in football. We really took that to heart this week by doubling up Gruden Grinders at the wide receiver position (30.7 points to 12.4).
Gruden Grinders
Gruden Grinders may find it tough to gripe about lack of opportunity this past week. As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR and one TE) were targeted a respectable 20 times in Week 9. Those players might need to hit the practice field, considering they reeled in only 11 receptions.
