Coach Talk

GloriouslyVictorious
This sport is all about exploiting the mismatches. Our team took that to heart this past week and thoroughly outscored A Taste of the Herb at the quarterback position (50.44 points to 14.3).
A Taste of the Herb
Well, we can't really whine about a shortage of opportunities this time, can we? Our five pass-catchers (four WR, one TE) collectively saw a respectable 46 targets in Week 2. Timing and chemistry seem to be issues as that group tallied just 27 receptions.
