Coach Talk

Najee by nature
Identifying mismatches is a big key to success in football. We really took that to heart this week by nearly tripling M0nStEr bLiTz at the wide receiver position (46.8 points to 16.7).
M0nStEr bLiTz
"Not getting enough looks" really isn't an excuse this week for M0nStEr bLiTz. As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR and one TE) were targeted a grand total of 24 times in Week 5. With just 13 total catches, this group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
