Coach Talk

spopov_k_2021
Hey, football is all about creating mismatches, right? We really took that to heart this week by doubling up Beloglavi at the wide receiver position (25 points to 11).
Beloglavi
Unless Beloglavi wants to go full diva-mode, then "not seeing enough opportunities" doesn't fly as an excuse this week. As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) were targeted a grand total of 26 times in Week 1. Chemistry and timing appear to be issues as that group pulled down just 15 catches.
