Coach Talk

OleOle Bombarders
Hey, this sport is all about creating mismatches, right? We really took that to heart this week by thoroughly outplaying Boston Hoodies at the wide receiver position (26.7 points to 9.9).
Boston Hoodies
"Not getting many looks" really isn't an excuse this week for Boston Hoodies. As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) were targeted a grand total of 17 times in Week 15. With just 10 total receptions, this group may have some chemistry issues.
