Coach Talk

Comeback Kid
Hey, this sport is all about recognizing the mismatches, right? We really took that to heart this week by nearly tripling Brown Sugar at the wide receiver position (34 points to 12).
Brown Sugar
Hey, Brown Sugar, what'd your receiving crew do to get written out of their teams' game plans this week? With only 16 targets combined this past week, our five starting pass-catchers (four WR, one TE) obviously need to get in their respective QBs' ears this week in practice.
