Coach Talk

The Rubensteins
The key to success in football is exploiting the mismatches. Our team found one this past week and literally doubled up Win or die trying at the quarterback position (47.72 points to 23.11).
Win or die trying
Unless Win or die trying wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not seeing enough chances" can't be a reasonable excuse this time around. Our pass-catching corps (four WR and one TE) were targeted a whopping 29 times in Week 2. Those players might need to spend more time with the JUGS machine, considering they pulled down only 17 balls.
