Coach Talk

Brady's Soft Balls
This sport is all about exploiting the mismatches. We really took that to heart this week by doubling up Double D's at the wide receiver position (46.2 points to 20.6).
Double D's
Registering just a couple of targets this past week, it seems like the starting running backs for Double D's should remind their quarterbacks to check down more frequently (and dial up a screen play or two).
