Coach Talk

The Moan Zone
Hey, the key to football is creating mismatches, right? We really took that to heart this week by doubling up Cook Out at the wide receiver position (27.7 points to 11.9).
Cook Out
Well, we can't really complain about a lack of opportunities this week, can we? As a group, our two wide receivers were targeted a respectable 10 times in Week 9. Those players might need to get some extra reps with the JUGS machine, considering they reeled in just five receptions.
