Coach Talk

Throw up the X
You know, this sport is all about exploiting the mismatches. We not only tripled Springfield Atoms at RB (67 points to 21), we also royally dominated them at WR (57 to 4).
Springfield Atoms
"Not seeing many opportunities" shouldn't really be an excuse this week for Springfield Atoms. As a group, our trio of pass-catchers (two WR, one TE) were targeted a hearty 21 times in Week 4. Those players should try to get some extra practice reps in with their QBs, considering they hauled in only 13 balls.
