Coach Talk

Zack's Unnamed Team
Hey, exploiting mismatches is the key to football, right? We really took that to heart this week by utterly dominating The Phantom Limbs at the wide receiver position (29.6 points to 6).
The Phantom Limbs
Unless The Phantom Limbs wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not seeing many chances" doesn't fly as an excuse this week. As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) collectively got a grand total of 20 targets in Week 9. With just 11 total receptions, this group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
