Coach Talk

Crazed Doggs
You know, this sport is all about exploiting the mismatches. Thanks to an awesome performance by Josh Allen, we nearly quadrupled Fat Samurai at the quarterback position this past week (31.58 points to 8.05). Allen went 24-for-33 for 311 yards, four TDs, and an INT in a three-point victory over the Rams.
Fat Samurai
Well, we certainly can't whine about a lack of opportunities this time, can we? As a group, our five pass-catchers (four WR and one TE) were targeted a grand total of 31 times in Week 3. Chemistry seems to be an issue, as that group hauled in only 19 receptions.
