Coach Talk

Jr’s season
You know, football is all about taking advantage of the mismatches. Thanks to a solid display by Josh Allen, we almost tripled Big Skillet at the quarterback position this past week (30.7 points to 10.9). Allen went 42-for-63 for 400 yards and two TDs (plus no INTs) in a 21-19 loss to the Dolphins.
Big Skillet
"Not getting enough opportunities" won't cut it as an excuse this week for Big Skillet. Our pass-catching corps (two WR, one TE) collectively got a grand total of 16 targets in Week 3. Timing and chemistry appear to be issues as that group managed only eight catches.
