Coach Talk

Orange bloods
This sport is all about creating mismatches. Thanks to a thrilling performance by Justin Herbert, we quadrupled Rooster's at the quarterback position this past week (54.8 points to 12.6). Herbert went 26-for-43 for 398 yards and four TDs in a five-point win over the Browns.
Rooster's
Welp, we can't really complain about a lack of opportunities this time, can we? As a group, our six pass-catchers (four WR and two TE) collectively saw a grand total of 45 targets in Week 5. Chemistry appears to be the primary issue, as that group pulled down only 27 balls.
