Coach Talk

Panzerleader
The key to success in football is exploiting the mismatches. Fueled by stellar showings by Tyreek Hill and DeAndre Hopkins, our team really took that to heart this past week. We royally dominated absolutereckless at wide receiver (63.4 points to 18.1). Hill had 197 receiving yards while Hopkins logged 83 yards and two scores.
absolutereckless
absolutereckless may find it tough to complain about lack of opportunities this past week. As a group, our pass-catching corps (two WR and one TE) were targeted a respectable 17 times in Week 1. Those players should try to get some extra practice reps in with their QBs, considering they hauled in just 10 receptions.
