Coach Talk

WindyCity Rebels
Hey, the key to football is exploiting the mismatches. Thanks to a stellar showing from Tom Brady, we tripled Mushroom Capital at the quarterback position this past week (35 points to 10). Brady went 28-for-40 for 375 yards, four TDs, and two INTs in a 36-27 loss to the Saints.
Mushroom Capital
Mushroom Capital will find it tough to gripe about lack of opportunity this past week. Our pass-catching corps (three WR, one TE) combined to get a grand total of 29 targets in Week 8. With only 13 total catches, this group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
