Coach Talk

Oblong balls
Hey, this sport is all about creating mismatches, right? We really took that to heart this week by doubling up What can Brown do 4U at the wide receiver position (42 points to 19).
What can Brown do 4U
Unless What can Brown do 4U wants to go full diva-mode, then "not seeing many opportunities" doesn't fly as an excuse this week. As a group, our five pass-catchers (three WR and two TE) were targeted a grand total of 24 times in Week 5. Chemistry could be the primary problem, as that group hauled in just 14 balls.
