Coach Talk

2nd down and 9
The key to success in football is taking advantage of the mismatches. We really took that to heart this week by thoroughly outplaying The Revolutionaries at the wide receiver position (67 points to 10).
The Revolutionaries
Unless The Revolutionaries wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not seeing many looks" cannot be a reasonable excuse this week. Our pass-catching corps (three WR and one TE) combined to receive a respectable 17 targets in Week 15. Chemistry could be the primary issue, as that group managed only eight catches.
