Coach Talk

The Shaolin vol 2
Hey, finding mismatches is the key to football, right? Fueled by an awesome outing from Joe Burrow, we tripled Mr.Two-Time at the quarterback position this past week (30 points to 8.64). Burrow went 23-for-36 for 275 yards and three TDs in a 27-12 triumph over the Jets.
Mr.Two-Time
Unless Mr.Two-Time wants to go full diva-mode, then "not getting many chances" is not an excuse this time around. As a group, our pass-catching corps (four WR and one TE) were targeted a grand total of 39 times in Week 3. With only 21 total receptions, this group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
