Coach Talk

Lou's Legit Team
Hey, exploiting mismatches is the key to football, right? Fueled by a awesome display by Deshaun Watson, we royally dominated Tim's Swag Team at the quarterback position this past week (36.46 points to 5.34). Watson went 29-for-40 for 339 yards and two TDs in a 32-30 loss to the Eagles.
Tim's Swag Team
Well, we certainly can't complain about a lack of opportunities this time, can we? As a group, our pass-catching corps (two WR, one TE) combined to see a grand total of 37 targets in Week 16. Chemistry and timing appear to be issues as that group pulled down only 19 catches.
