Coach Talk

Bucco Bruce
Football is all about creating mismatches. Not only did we double up Prolific at QB (23 points to 10), we also tripled them at WR (42 to 12).
Prolific
"Not getting many looks" really isn't an excuse this week for Prolific. As a group, our five pass-catchers (four WR, one TE) were targeted a grand total of 31 times in Week 4. With only 17 total receptions, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
