Coach Talk

C the Priest
You know, the key to football is finding the mismatches. We really took that to heart this week by nearly tripling StairwayToSeven at the wide receiver position (890 points to 297).
StairwayToSeven
"Not getting many chances" shouldn't really be an excuse this week for StairwayToSeven. As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR, one TE) collectively received a respectable 18 targets in Week 3. With only 11 total receptions, that group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
