Coach Talk

Word
Football is all about creating mismatches. Our team took that to heart this past week and thoroughly dominated brandon's Team at the quarterback position (111 points to 20.68).
brandon's Team
Unless brandon's Team wants to go full diva-mode, then "not seeing many chances" is not a valid excuse this time around. Our five pass-catchers (four WR, one TE) were targeted a grand total of 21 times in Week 5. Those players might need to get some extra reps with the JUGS machine, considering they hauled in just 11 catches.
