Coach Talk

Bad News Bears
Identifying mismatches is a big component to winning in football. We really took that to heart this week by almost tripling What The Shit at the wide receiver position (36.7 points to 13.3).
What The Shit
What The Shit may find it tough to complain about lack of opportunities this past week. As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR, one TE) were targeted a hearty 21 times in Week 6. Chemistry seems to be an issue, as that group reeled in just 10 balls.
