Coach Talk

Eli Manning Sucks
Spotting mismatches is a huge component to winning in football. We really took that to heart this week by royally dominating Kentucky Zombie at the wide receiver position (47.6 points to 9.9).
Kentucky Zombie
Well, we can't really whine about a lack of opportunities this week, can we? As a group, our pass-catching corps (two WR and one TE) collectively saw a hearty 17 targets in Week 10. Those players should try to get some extra practice reps in with their QBs, considering they reeled in just seven balls.
