Coach Talk

MotorCityFelines
Football is all about identifying the mismatches. We really took that to heart this week by doubling up Mack Attack at the wide receiver position (53.4 points to 21.68).
Mack Attack
Welp, we can't really whine about a shortage of opportunities this time, can we? As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR and one TE) combined to receive a respectable 19 targets in Week 1. With just 11 total receptions, that group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
