Coach Talk

Hard Targets
Hey, the key to football is creating mismatches, right? We really took that to heart this week by doubling up DominationStation at the wide receiver position (71.5 points to 30.1).
DominationStation
Hey, DominationStation, did your receiving crew drop too many balls in practice or something? With only 14 total targets this past week, our five starting pass-catchers (four WR, one TE) obviously need to get on their QBs' good sides this week in practice.
