Coach Talk

Womb Wrecker
You know, the key to football is exploiting the mismatches. Thanks to a solid outing from Eli Manning, we doubled up the scoring machine at the quarterback position this past week (22.88 points to 10.98). Manning went 14-for-22 for 197 yards and three TDs in a 40-16 triumph over the Redskins.
the scoring machine
"Not seeing enough opportunities" really isn't an excuse this week for the scoring machine. Our three wide receivers collectively got a whopping 16 targets in Week 14. Chemistry and timing appear to be issues as that group pulled down just seven catches.
