Coach Talk

The Mad Scientist
Hey, the key to football is spotting (and then exploiting) the mismatches. Not only did we dominate Kamara Shy at WR (28.8 points to 11), we also tripled them at QB (33 points to 10.04).
Kamara Shy
Unless Kamara Shy wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not getting enough looks" isn't really a viable excuse this time around. Our trio of pass-catchers (two WR, one TE) were targeted a healthy 18 times in Week 13. With just 11 total catches, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
