Coach Talk

KeithyP
Creating mismatches is a big component to winning in football. We really took that to heart this week by doubling up Brandon C at the wide receiver position (54.2 points to 26.9).
Brandon C
"Not seeing enough looks" won't cut it as an excuse this week for Brandon C. As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR, one TE) collectively got a whopping 23 targets in Week 15. Chemistry and timing appear to be issues as that group recorded just 14 catches.
