Coach Talk

AlaskaDave
Spotting mismatches is a big key to success in football. We really took that to heart this week by soundly outplaying The Pigs at the wide receiver position (46.1 points to 9.4).
The Pigs
Unless The Pigs wants to go full diva-mode, then "not getting many chances" doesn't fly as an excuse this time around. As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) were targeted a respectable 22 times in Week 8. With just nine total receptions, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
