Coach Talk

Tha Champ
Identifying mismatches is a huge key to success in football. We really took that to heart this week by tripling No Limit Bowler at the wide receiver position (37.6 points to 12.1).
No Limit Bowler
"Not getting many chances" really isn't an excuse this week for No Limit Bowler. Our pass-catching corps (three WR, one TE) collectively saw a healthy 19 targets in Week 5. Chemistry and timing seem to be issues as that group tallied only nine receptions.
