Coach Talk

Square357
Hey, this sport is all about creating mismatches, right? Thanks to a sound outing by Jared Goff, we doubled up The Willowdale 46 at the quarterback position this past week (35 points to 15). Goff went 21-for-30 for 309 yards, two TDs, and an INT in a 30-10 win over the Football Team.
The Willowdale 46
Well, we can't really gripe about a lack of opportunities this time, can we? As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR, one TE) were targeted a healthy 21 times in Week 5. Chemistry and timing seem to be issues as that group reeled in just 10 receptions.
