Coach Talk

Warm Bodies
Hey, the key to football is creating mismatches, right? Fueled by some stellar yardage production from our running backs, our team really made that happen this week. Our backfield logged 196 more total yards than the RBs on Mutinous Apes (324 yards from scrimmage to 128), as we ultimately tripled them at the position (52.4 points to 15.8).
Mutinous Apes
"Not getting many looks" isn't a valid excuse this week for Mutinous Apes. Our pass-catching corps (three WR, two TE) collectively saw a grand total of 28 targets in Week 13. Those players should spend extra practice time working with their QBs, considering they notched just 15 catches.
