Coach Talk

Arakaans Assassins
A big key to success in football is exploiting the mismatches. We really took that to heart this week by royally dominating thelochieash's Team at the wide receiver position (61 points to 6.9).
thelochieash's Team
So, thelochieash's Team, what'd your receiving crew do to tick off their quarterbacks this week? With only 14 total targets in Week 4, our four starting pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) clearly need to get the attention of their respective signal-callers this week in practice.
