Coach Talk

Alcatraz Returners
The key to success in football is exploiting the mismatches. Not only did we dominate Ale iz Morave at RB (33 points to 13), we also almost tripled them at WR (26 to 9).
Ale iz Morave
"Not seeing enough opportunities" is definitely not a reasonable excuse this week for Ale iz Morave. Our trio of pass-catchers (two WR and one TE) collectively saw a grand total of 17 targets in Week 14. Those players should participate in some additional timing drills with their QBs, considering they managed just nine receptions.
