Coach Talk

Clark Kent
Hey, the key to football is exploiting the mismatches. Thanks to some stellar yardage production from our ball-carriers, our team really made that happen this week. Our three backfield starters logged 172 more yards from scrimmage than the RBs of Bring It! (387 total yards to 215), as we ultimately doubled up them at the position (72.67 points to 34.12).
Bring It!
Well, we certainly can't complain about a shortage of opportunities this week, can we? As a group, our pass-catching corps (two WR and one TE) were targeted a grand total of 31 times in Week 14. Chemistry appears to be an issue, as that group notched only 19 receptions.
