Coach Talk

The Mad Scientist
You know, the key to football is exploiting the mismatches. Fueled by stellar production from our receiving corps, our squad really took that to heart this past week. We thoroughly dominated Kamara Shy at wide receiver (28.4 points to 10.8). Julian Edelman had 86 receiving yards while Keenan Allen logged 78 yards.
Kamara Shy
Kamara Shy may find it tough to gripe about lack of opportunities this past week. As a group, our two wide receivers collectively got a respectable 13 targets in Week 14. Timing and chemistry appear to be issues as that group notched only seven catches.
