Coach Talk

Bad News Bears
Hey, the key to football is finding and exploiting the mismatches, right? Thanks to a solid showing from Lamar Jackson, we doubled up Gary Gus's Team at the quarterback position this past week (25.02 points to 11.2). Jackson went 14-for-21 for 193 yards, two TDs, and an INT in a 31-17 triumph over the Football Team.
Gary Gus's Team
Well, we certainly can't gripe about a lack of opportunities this week, can we? As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR and one TE) were targeted a grand total of 18 times in Week 4. Chemistry appears to be an issue, as that group pulled down just 11 receptions.
