Coach Talk

Saquon Deez Nuts
Hey, finding mismatches is the key to football, right? Fueled by a thrilling showing by Jalen Hurts, we thoroughly dominated Kitty Kats at the quarterback position this past week (27.6 points to 10.16). Hurts went 22-for-35 for 340 yards and three TDs (plus no INTs) in a 24-8 win over the Commanders.
Kitty Kats
Unless Kitty Kats wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not getting enough looks" is not an excuse this week. As a group, our trio of pass-catchers (two WR, one TE) combined to get a grand total of 23 targets in Week 3. With only 13 total catches, this group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
