Coach Talk

2 Gurleys 1 Cup
You know, football is all about taking advantage of the mismatches. Case in point: we made that a point of emphasis by utterly dominating Miles High at running back this past week (40 points to 6).
Miles High
Unless Miles High wants to go full diva-mode, then "not seeing enough opportunities" is not an excuse this week. Our four pass-catchers (three WR and one TE) collectively got a whopping 21 targets in Week 6. Those players should participate in some additional timing drills with their QBs, considering they recorded only 12 catches.
