Coach Talk

Long Island Steelers
The key to success in football is taking advantage of the mismatches. We really took that to heart this week by utterly dominating Rebellion at the wide receiver position (46.4 points to 13.2).
Rebellion
"Not seeing many chances" really isn't an excuse this week for Rebellion. Our pass-catching corps (three WR and one TE) were targeted a grand total of 23 times in Week 6. Chemistry could be the primary issue, as that group reeled in only 12 receptions.
