Coach Talk

Billsrback
Football is all about creating mismatches. We really took that to heart this week by doubling up mello Yellow at the wide receiver position (125.8 points to 61.8).
mello Yellow
Unless mello Yellow wants to go full diva-mode, then "not seeing enough chances" can't be an excuse this week. As a group, our five pass-catchers (four WR and one TE) collectively got a grand total of 30 targets in Week 15. Those players should participate in some additional timing drills with their QBs, considering they hauled in only 11 balls.
