Coach Talk

RedZone
A big key to success in football is exploiting the mismatches. We really took that to heart this week by tripling BOOM Shakalaka at the wide receiver position (55.3 points to 17.5).
BOOM Shakalaka
BOOM Shakalaka will find it tough to gripe about lack of opportunity this past week. Our pass-catching corps (three WR and one TE) were targeted a hearty 21 times in Week 10. With just 12 total catches, that group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
