Coach Talk

Team Double Dips
Hey, creating mismatches is the key to football, right? Thanks to good numbers from the backfield, our team took that to heart this past week. We tripled The Real Slim Brady up at the running back spot (34.9 points to 10.4). Christian McCaffrey did most of the damage (170 total yards and a TD), while Sony Michel chipped in with 59 yards.
The Real Slim Brady
Unless The Real Slim Brady wants to go full diva-mode, then "not seeing enough looks" doesn't fly as an excuse this week. Our four pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) were targeted a grand total of 26 times in Week 15. With only 14 total receptions, this group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
