Coach Talk

Nightmares
Football is all about exploiting the mismatches. We really took that to heart this week by utterly dominating Dennis Lee's Dandy Team at the wide receiver position (124 points to 46).
Dennis Lee's Dandy Team
Dennis Lee's Dandy Team will find it tough to gripe about lack of opportunity this past week. Our four pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) combined to get a hearty 25 targets in Week 2. Timing and chemistry seem to be issues as that group tallied just 11 receptions.
