Coach Talk

Da Bears
Hey, football is all about exploiting the mismatches, right? Not only did we double up YOUalreadyKNOWsuckas at RB (29.2 points to 12.5), we also tripled them at WR (37.4 to 11.6).
YOUalreadyKNOWsuckas
With only three receptions on five targets this past week, the starting RBs for YOUalreadyKNOWsuckas should remind their QBs to get them more involved (and dial up a screen play or two).
