Coach Talk

Dante's Definitive Team
Hey, football is all about exploiting the mismatches, right? We really took that to heart this week by doubling up Mean Machine at the wide receiver position (69.2 points to 29.6).
Mean Machine
Unless Mean Machine wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not getting enough opportunities" won't cut it as an excuse this week. Our four pass-catchers (three WR and one TE) collectively got a respectable 26 targets in Week 2. With only 15 total catches, this group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
