Coach Talk

The Cereal Killers
Creating mismatches is a big key to success in football. We really took that to heart this week by tripling CONNER STRONG at the wide receiver position (29 points to 9).
CONNER STRONG
Yo, CONNER STRONG, did your receiving crew drop too many balls in practice or something? Seeing only 14 targets as a group in Week 15, our four starting pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) clearly need to get the attention of their respective QBs this week in practice.
