Coach Talk

Strait Outta Bounds
Hey, exploiting mismatches is the key to football, right? Thanks to some stellar yardage production from our running backs, our team created a big disparity this week. Our backfield logged 147 more total yards than the RBs on Finkle & Einhorn (234 yards from scrimmage to 87), and we wound up royally dominating them at the position, 36.9 points to 10.2.
Finkle & Einhorn
Well, we certainly can't complain about a shortage of opportunities this time, can we? As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR and one TE) collectively received a grand total of 28 targets in Week 16. Those players might need to get some extra reps with the JUGS machine, considering they managed just 16 catches.
