Coach Talk

Ultimate Maniacs
Identifying mismatches is a big key to success in football. Fueled by some monster yardage production from our running backs, our team created a big disparity this week. Our three backfield starters recorded 135 more yards from scrimmage than the RBs on Obi juan ll (372 total yards to 237), as we ultimately doubled up them at the position (74.2 points to 34.7).
Obi juan ll
Obi juan ll may find it tough to complain about lack of opportunities this past week. Our trio of pass-catchers (two WR, one TE) collectively got a grand total of 16 targets in Week 15. With only 10 total catches, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
