Coach Talk

Da Comets
Football is all about creating mismatches. We really took that to heart this week by tripling Tygame Taylor at the wide receiver position (86 points to 27).
Tygame Taylor
Welp, we certainly can't gripe about a lack of opportunities this week, can we? Our four pass-catchers (three WR and one TE) were targeted a healthy 35 times in Week 12. With only 20 total catches, that group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
