Coach Talk

STEWARTS TERRORS
Hey, the key to football is exploiting the mismatches. We really took that to heart this week by nearly quadrupling ThisIsUnbelievable at the wide receiver position (94 points to 24).
ThisIsUnbelievable
Unless ThisIsUnbelievable wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not seeing enough looks" is not a reasonable excuse this week. Our pass-catching corps (five WR and one TE) were targeted a grand total of 26 times in Week 1. With just 15 total receptions, this group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
