Coach Talk

Frew Fighters
A big key to success in football is finding the mismatches. We really took that to heart this week by doubling up Weekend@Bernie Kosar at the wide receiver position (47 points to 23.3).
Weekend@Bernie Kosar
"Not seeing many opportunities" really isn't an excuse this week for Weekend@Bernie Kosar. Our pass-catching corps (three WR, one TE) collectively saw a hearty 18 targets in Week 15. Chemistry and timing seem to be issues as that group notched only 10 catches.
