Coach Talk

Barely Legal
Hey, exploiting mismatches is the key to football, right? We really took that to heart this week by thoroughly outplaying Tommy P at the wide receiver position (45.9 points to 9.8).
Tommy P
Unless Tommy P wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not seeing many opportunities" doesn't fly as an excuse this time around. As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR, one TE) were targeted a respectable 20 times in Week 11. With only 11 total receptions, that group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
