Coach Talk

Cocks
You know, football is all about finding the mismatches. Our team found one this past week and literally doubled up Vultures at the quarterback position (25.2 points to 12.2).
Vultures
Unless Vultures wants to go full diva-mode, then "not seeing enough chances" is definitely not an excuse this time around. As a group, our five pass-catchers (four WR and one TE) collectively received a grand total of 30 targets in Week 9. Chemistry and timing seem to be issues as that group tallied just 18 catches.
