Coach Talk

Pulsechamber
Hey, the key to football is creating mismatches, right? Along with doubling up Wildebeasts at RB (35.3 points to 14.2), we also utterly dominated them at WR (23.6 to 6.3).
Wildebeasts
"Not getting enough chances" won't fly as an excuse this week for Wildebeasts. As a group, our trio of pass-catchers (two WR and one TE) collectively got a respectable 13 targets in Week 15. With just eight total receptions, this group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
