Coach Talk

Throw a Fitz
Hey, the key to football is finding the mismatches, right? With some stellar yardage production from our running backs, our team created a big disparity this week. Our backfield put up 85 more total yards than the RBs on Donkey Punch (240 yards from scrimmage to 155), as we ultimately royally dominated them at the position, 42 points to 15.5.
Donkey Punch
Welp, we certainly can't gripe about a shortage of opportunities this time, can we? Our trio of pass-catchers (two WR and one TE) collectively saw a grand total of 14 targets in Week 13. With just seven total catches, this group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
