Coach Talk

Honolulu Blue Myself
The key to success in football is creating mismatches. We not only dominated Ligers at WR (56.25 points to 10.35), we also utterly dominated them at QB (34.52 points to 3.5).
Ligers
There's a possibility that Ligers might be a better GM in the NFL than in fantasy football. Accumulating just eight total targets in Week 9, their three wide receivers apparently contributed to their teams' offenses by running decoy routes and blocking downfield.
