Coach Talk

Doc's Devils
Hey, football is all about exploiting the mismatches. Not only did we dominate Blitz and Glamour at QB (68.4 points to 26.1), we also royally dominated them at WR (44.6 to 16.6).
Blitz and Glamour
Hey, it's possible that Blitz and Glamour would be a better GM in the NFL than in fantasy football. Seeing only 10 targets as a group in Week 16, their four wide receivers apparently spent most of their games blocking downfield and running decoy routes.
