Coach Talk

Nu' Yawk Giants
Hey, exploiting mismatches is the key to football, right? We really took that to heart this week by thoroughly outplaying Mandalay Bay at the wide receiver position (96 points to 36.6).
Mandalay Bay
"Not seeing many looks" shouldn't really be an excuse this week for Mandalay Bay. As a group, our pass-catching corps (four WR, one TE) combined to get a grand total of 31 targets in Week 10. Chemistry could be a problem, as that group pulled down only 19 balls.
