Coach Talk

Jersey Generals
Creating mismatches is a big component to winning in football. Our team found one this past week and thoroughly dominated Utah Surfer Dudes at the quarterback position (178.3 points to 37.95).
Utah Surfer Dudes
"Not getting enough chances" really isn't an excuse this week for Utah Surfer Dudes. Our trio of pass-catchers (two WR and one TE) collectively got a grand total of 14 targets in Week 9. With just seven total receptions, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
