Coach Talk

Eli-NT
This sport is all about finding the mismatches. Fueled by some monster yardage production from our running backs, our team certainly made that happen this week. Our backfield logged 140 more yards from scrimmage than the RBs of RG'sLuckyRichardIII (230 total yards to 90), as we ultimately utterly dominated them at the position (33 points to 9).
RG'sLuckyRichardIII
Unless RG'sLuckyRichardIII wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not getting enough chances" doesn't fly as an excuse this week. Our four pass-catchers (three WR and one TE) were targeted a grand total of 26 times in Week 15. Chemistry could be a problem, as that group tallied only 15 receptions.
