Coach Talk

The Fishguts
Hey, the key to football is exploiting the mismatches. Thanks to stellar showings by Mike Williams and Davante Adams, our team really took that to heart this past week. We almost quadrupled Gridiron Greats Return at wide receiver (30.5 points to 8.1). Williams had 120 receiving yards while Adams chipped in with 101 yards.

Welp, we certainly can't gripe about a lack of opportunities this time, can we? Our trio of pass-catchers (two WR, one TE) collectively received a whopping 14 targets in Week 4. Those players might need to spend more time with the JUGS machine, considering they managed only six catches.
