Coach Talk

Flashed Gordonians
Creating mismatches is a huge key to success in football. Fueled by stellar numbers from our receiving corps, our squad really took that to heart this past week. We doubled up Dawgs Revenge at wide receiver (18 points to 7.5). Antonio Brown had 49 receiving yards while Tyler Lockett chipped in with 45 yards.
Dawgs Revenge
Well, we certainly can't complain about a shortage of opportunities this time, can we? As a group, our trio of pass-catchers (two WR and one TE) were targeted a hearty 16 times in Week 15. Chemistry appears to be an issue, as that group pulled down just 10 receptions.
