Coach Talk

Black Flag
You know, this sport is all about spotting (and then exploiting) the mismatches. Case in point: we made that a point of emphasis by tripling TBD at running back this past week (51.9 points to 15.4).
TBD
Unless TBD wants to go full diva-mode, then "not getting enough looks" isn't really a valid excuse this week. As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR and one TE) were targeted a grand total of 27 times in Week 6. With just 16 total catches, this group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
