Coach Talk

Lamar&CalvinRunTrainOnYaMoms
Identifying mismatches is a huge key to success in football. Our team took that to heart this past week and doubled up Team Chemistry at the quarterback position (49.88 points to 22.92).
Team Chemistry
Unless Team Chemistry wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not seeing many looks" can't be an excuse this week. Our pass-catching corps (three WR and one TE) were targeted a grand total of 30 times in Week 5. With just 16 total catches, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
