Coach Talk

Fred
You know, the key to football is exploiting the mismatches. We really took that to heart this week by doubling up GibraltarRock at the wide receiver position (39.3 points to 17.5).
GibraltarRock
Well, we certainly can't complain about a shortage of opportunities this week, can we? Our pass-catching corps (three WR and one TE) collectively got a grand total of 28 targets in Week 6. Chemistry and timing appear to be issues as that group pulled down just 17 receptions.
