Coach Talk

Roberts renegades
A big key to success in football is creating mismatches. We really took that to heart this week by quadrupling Nurses Rule at the wide receiver position (92.6 points to 21.8).
Nurses Rule
Well, we can't really complain about a lack of opportunities this time, can we? As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) were targeted a grand total of 18 times in Week 5. With just 11 total catches, this group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
