Coach Talk
Karen
The key to success in football is exploiting the mismatches. We really took that to heart this week by doubling up IKnowNothing! at the wide receiver position (98.7 points to 39.9).
IKnowNothing!
IKnowNothing! will find it tough to gripe about lack of opportunities this past week. As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR and one TE) collectively got a grand total of 31 targets in Week 9. Chemistry could be the primary problem, as that group tallied only 19 receptions.
