Coach Talk

Zoneblitz
Spotting mismatches is a huge key to success in football. Along with tripling PPE Return at QB (39.22 points to 12.96), we also royally dominated them at RB (32.3 to 6.9).
PPE Return
Unless PPE Return wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not seeing enough chances" can't be a valid excuse this week. As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR, one TE) were targeted a healthy 29 times in Week 4. Chemistry could be an issue, as that group tallied just 16 receptions.
