Coach Talk

All Hail Hypnotoad!
Hey, the key to football is spotting the mismatches. Fueled by stellar numbers from our receiving corps, our squad really took that to heart this past week. We nearly quadrupled Captain Kirk at wide receiver (20.1 points to 5.1). Julio Jones had 82 receiving yards while Brandin Cooks chipped in with 59 yards.
Captain Kirk
Well, we can't really whine about a lack of opportunities this time, can we? As a group, our two wide receivers collectively received a respectable 11 targets in Week 15. Chemistry and timing seem to be issues as that group hauled in only five receptions.
