Coach Talk

Beloglavi
The key to success in football is exploiting the mismatches. We really took that to heart by almost tripling Kablarski OVNOVI at running back this past week (26 points to 9).
Kablarski OVNOVI
Kablarski OVNOVI may find it tough to gripe about lack of opportunities this past week. Our four pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) combined to see a grand total of 22 targets in Week 8. Timing and chemistry seem to be issues as that group hauled in just 12 balls.
