Coach Talk

Wildlife Horses Team
This sport is all about exploiting the mismatches. Fueled by a stellar showing from Ben Roethlisberger, we quadrupled Kush Gordon at the quarterback position this past week (29.6 points to 7.04). Roethlisberger went 33-for-50 for 380 yards and three TDs in a 31-28 loss to the Saints.
Kush Gordon
Unless Kush Gordon wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not seeing many looks" is definitely not an excuse this time around. Our pass-catching corps (three WR, one TE) were targeted a grand total of 33 times in Week 16. Chemistry could be an issue, as that group reeled in just 19 balls.
