Coach Talk

NorthwestSalmonbelli
Identifying mismatches is a big component to winning in football. Case in point: we made that a point of emphasis by thoroughly outplaying FriendsOfDonCherry at running back this past week (36.59 points to 8.1).
FriendsOfDonCherry
Unless FriendsOfDonCherry wants to go full diva-mode, then "not seeing enough looks" isn't really a reasonable excuse this week. As a group, our pass-catching corps (two WR, two TE) were targeted a healthy 21 times in Week 15. Timing and chemistry appear to be issues as that group recorded just 13 catches.
