Coach Talk

Brian McDougall
Hey, finding mismatches is the key to football, right? We really took that to heart this week by almost tripling Michael Scott at the wide receiver position (31.36 points to 11.36).
Michael Scott
Unless Michael Scott wants to go full diva-mode, then "not getting many opportunities" is definitely not a valid excuse this week. As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR and one TE) collectively got a grand total of 21 targets in Week 10. Chemistry seems to be an issue, as that group reeled in only 10 balls.
