Coach Talk

Carl's Team
Spotting mismatches is a big key to success in football. We really took that to heart this week by utterly dominating budapest bulliess at the wide receiver position (38 points to 7).
budapest bulliess
budapest bulliess may find it tough to complain about lack of opportunities this past week. As a group, our pass-catching corps (two WR, one TE) were targeted a grand total of 21 times in Week 6. With only nine total catches, this group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
