Coach Talk

VACHout
Identifying mismatches is a huge key to success in football. Not only did we double up Tamil Tigers at RB (51.7 points to 21.88), we also nearly quadrupled them at QB (47.8 to 12.43).
Tamil Tigers
Well, we certainly can't gripe about a lack of opportunities this time, can we? Our four pass-catchers (three WR and one TE) combined to see a whopping 31 targets in Week 2. Chemistry could be an issue, as that group notched only 16 receptions.
