Coach Talk

Rabid otters II
A big key to success in football is exploiting the mismatches. We really took that to heart this week by tripling The Ghoul Gals at the wide receiver position (22.5 points to 7.4).
The Ghoul Gals
Well, we can't really gripe about a shortage of opportunities this week, can we? Our pass-catching corps (three WR and one TE) combined to see a grand total of 19 targets in Week 2. Those players should try to get some extra practice reps in with their QBs, considering they recorded just four receptions.
