Coach Talk

Just Joshin'
Creating mismatches is a big component to winning in football. We really took that to heart by utterly dominating Rodney's Optimal Team at running back this past week (40.9 points to 5.7).
Rodney's Optimal Team
Well, we certainly can't gripe about a shortage of opportunities this week, can we? As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR, one TE) were targeted a respectable 28 times in Week 9. Chemistry seems to be an issue, as that group pulled down only 16 receptions.
