Coach Talk

Flying Flounders
You know, football is all about exploiting the mismatches. We really took that to heart this week by doubling up Gerbschmidt at the wide receiver position (37.8 points to 18.34).
Gerbschmidt
Gerbschmidt will find it tough to complain about lack of opportunity this past week. As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR and one TE) collectively got a grand total of 24 targets in Week 14. With just 13 total receptions, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
