Coach Talk

AZTECS
Hey, the key to football is exploiting the mismatches. We really took that to heart by doubling up Tds and Beer at running back this past week (20.5 points to 10.2).
Tds and Beer
Unless Tds and Beer wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not seeing many opportunities" is not a reasonable excuse this time around. As a group, our pass-catching corps (two WR, one TE) collectively got a respectable 20 targets in Week 7. Those players should try to get some extra practice reps in with their QBs, considering they reeled in only 12 catches.
