Coach Talk

Weezzy
Identifying mismatches is a big key to success in football. Thanks to a awesome showing by Andrew Luck, we doubled up MutaiSR at the quarterback position this past week (26.5 points to 11.2). Luck went 31-for-47 for 357 yards, two TDs, and an INT in a one-point win over the Giants.
MutaiSR
Unless MutaiSR wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not getting many looks" doesn't fly as an excuse this week. Our two wide receivers were targeted a grand total of 22 times in Week 16. With only 13 total catches, this group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
