Coach Talk

Lord Commander Brown
Creating mismatches is a huge key to success in football. We really took that to heart this week by doubling up #HeSaidYesToTheDress at the wide receiver position (23.7 points to 11.4).
#HeSaidYesToTheDress
Unless #HeSaidYesToTheDress wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not seeing many looks" doesn't fly as an excuse this time around. As a group, our trio of pass-catchers (two WR, one TE) combined to receive a whopping 21 targets in Week 15. Chemistry seems to be the primary issue, as that group pulled down just 11 receptions.
