Coach Talk

Goffam City
You know, the key to football is exploiting the mismatches. We really took that to heart this week by tripling Gruden Grinders at the wide receiver position (57.5 points to 18.6).
Gruden Grinders
"Not getting many looks" can't be a reasonable excuse this week for Gruden Grinders. Our four pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) were targeted a grand total of 30 times in Week 4. Chemistry could be the primary issue, as that group hauled in only 16 catches.
