Coach Talk

Diggs in a blanket
The key to success in football is taking advantage of the mismatches. Thanks to stellar showings by DeAndre Hopkins and Calvin Ridley, our squad really took that to heart this past week. We thoroughly dominated Total Eclipse at wide receiver (40.7 points to 7.2). Hopkins had 170 receiving yards and two TDs while Ridley chipped in with 42 yards.
Total Eclipse
Hey, Total Eclipse, did your receiving crew drop too many balls in practice or something? With just eight total targets in Week 15, our two wide receivers obviously got on the bad side of their respective QBs.
