Coach Talk

tardy perch
Hey, the key to football is creating mismatches, right? We really took that to heart this week by doubling up keith's Team at the wide receiver position (131.75 points to 53.6).
keith's Team
Unless keith's Team wants to go full diva-mode, then "not getting enough opportunities" won't cut it as an excuse this time around. As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR, one TE) were targeted a grand total of 24 times in Week 8. Those players might need to get some extra reps with the JUGS machine, considering they pulled down just 12 balls.
