Coach Talk

Blitz and Glamour
Hey, exploiting mismatches is the key to football, right? We really took that to heart this week by doubling up Dirty 54 at the wide receiver position (72.2 points to 32.5).
Dirty 54
There's a chance that Dirty 54 could be a better GM in the NFL than in fantasy football. Seeing only 14 targets as a group this past week, their six starting pass-catchers (five WR, one TE) apparently spent the majority of their games blocking downfield and running decoy routes.
