Coach Talk

Cleveland Steamers
Spotting mismatches is a big key to success in football. We not only almost tripled Titsburgh Feelers at WR (28.2 points to 9.6), we also thoroughly dominated them at QB (24.52 points to 4.62).
Titsburgh Feelers
Well, we certainly can't complain about a shortage of opportunities this time, can we? Our pass-catching corps (two WR and one TE) combined to receive a whopping 17 targets in Week 15. Timing and chemistry appear to be issues as that group reeled in only nine balls.
