Coach Talk

Mild Concussions
The key to success in football is exploiting the mismatches. We really took that to heart this week by doubling up Ember Island Players at the wide receiver position (33.2 points to 16.2).
Ember Island Players
Well, we certainly can't gripe about a lack of opportunities this time, can we? Our four pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) collectively got a whopping 23 targets in Week 13. Chemistry and timing appear to be issues as that group pulled down just 13 balls.
