Coach Talk

cole's Team
A big key to success in football is exploiting the mismatches. Not only did we double up Kirk's Team at WR (62 points to 29), we also thoroughly dominated them at RB (66 to 6).
Kirk's Team
"Not seeing many chances" won't fly as an excuse this week for Kirk's Team. As a group, our pass-catching corps (two WR and one TE) were targeted a grand total of 18 times in Week 15. With just nine total catches, that group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
