Coach Talk

Slapnuts
Football is all about exploiting the mismatches. We really took that to heart this week by royally dominating Kentucky Gentleman at the wide receiver position (103 points to 28).
Kentucky Gentleman
So, Kentucky Gentleman, what did your receivers do to tick off their quarterbacks this week? Seeing just nine total targets this past week, our three wide receivers clearly need to get in their respective QBs' ears this week in practice.
