Coach Talk

Cajun_Titan_33
Hey, the key to football is creating mismatches, right? We made that a point of emphasis by quadrupling Laser's Jocks at running back this past week (29.24 points to 6.5).
Laser's Jocks
Unless Laser's Jocks wants to go full diva-mode, then "not getting many opportunities" is not an excuse this time around. Our pass-catching corps (three WR and one TE) were targeted a grand total of 22 times in Week 15. Chemistry seems to be a problem, as that group hauled in just 13 receptions.
