Coach Talk

Vince Young
Four RBs, two WRs, one TE, zero TDs: The seven offensive skill starters on Vince Young combined to register a healthy 446 total yards. Not one of those players could get into the end zone in Week 15.
Wrong Answer!
It's entirely possible that Wrong Answer! would be a better GM in the NFL than in fantasy football. Seeing only 14 total targets this past week, their four starting pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) apparently contributed primarily by running decoy routes and blocking downfield.
