Coach Talk

JUST IN the end zone
Creating mismatches is a big component to winning in football. We really took that to heart this week by doubling up The Tannehillbillies at the wide receiver position (44.4 points to 18.7).
The Tannehillbillies
The Tannehillbillies will find it tough to gripe about lack of opportunities this past week. As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR and one TE) were targeted a whopping 26 times in Week 15. Those players might need to spend more time with the JUGS machine, considering they pulled down only 15 receptions.
