Coach Talk

REAL DEAL AjiPhil !
Identifying mismatches is a huge key to success in football. We really took that to heart this week by doubling up No Respect at the wide receiver position (41.14 points to 16.86).
No Respect
Unless No Respect wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not seeing enough opportunities" doesn't fly as an excuse this time around. Our pass-catching corps (three WR, one TE) were targeted a grand total of 21 times in Week 8. Timing and chemistry appear to be issues as that group pulled down just 12 receptions.
