Coach Talk

MGKVSBRD
You know, the key to football is spotting the mismatches. We really took that to heart this week by thoroughly outplaying DITKA at the wide receiver position (47.7 points to 7.4).
DITKA
Well, we can't really whine about a lack of opportunities this week, can we? As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) combined to receive a grand total of 19 targets in Week 3. Chemistry and timing appear to be issues as that group reeled in just nine receptions.
