Coach Talk

Spoon
Spotting mismatches is a big key to success in football. Thanks to solid performances by Phillip Lindsay and Todd Gurley II, our crew took that to heart this past week. We thoroughly outplayed Can I Haz Touchdown? at the running back position (44 points to 9). Lindsay had 159 total yards and two TDs, while Gurley II logged 165 yards and two scores.
Can I Haz Touchdown?
Can I Haz Touchdown? may find it tough to gripe about lack of opportunities this past week. Our two wide receivers combined to receive a healthy 14 targets in Week 13. Those players should try to get some extra practice reps in with their QBs, considering they reeled in only eight catches.
