Coach Talk

Vinohrady Devils
Identifying mismatches is a huge key to success in football. We really took that to heart this week by royally dominating Slinks Mayhem at the wide receiver position (47.4 points to 7.8).
Slinks Mayhem
Unless Slinks Mayhem wants to go full diva-mode, then "not seeing enough looks" can't be a valid excuse this week. As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) were targeted a grand total of 20 times in Week 7. With just 10 total catches, this group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
