Coach Talk

Nuk Nuk Jokes
A big key to success in football is finding (and exploiting) the mismatches. We really took that to heart this week by doubling up Nu' Yawk Giants at the wide receiver position (36.2 points to 16.4).
Nu' Yawk Giants
"Not getting many chances" isn't an excuse this week for Nu' Yawk Giants. As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR and one TE) combined to see a whopping 27 targets in Week 7. Those players might need to get some extra reps with the JUGS machine, considering they hauled in only 15 receptions.
