Coach Talk

Bad News Bears
Identifying mismatches is a huge component to winning in football. We really took that to heart this week by royally dominating Bill Braski at the wide receiver position (35.3 points to 13.8).
Bill Braski
Well, we can't really whine about a shortage of opportunities this week, can we? As a group, our five pass-catchers (four WR and one TE) were targeted a healthy 24 times in Week 10. With only 13 total receptions, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
