Coach Talk

Eagle Rising
Hey, this sport is all about exploiting the mismatches. Fueled by stellar performances by Keenan Allen and Allen Robinson II, our team really took that to heart this past week. We tripled CHI~Town Finest at wide receiver (17 points to 5). Allen had 82 receiving yards while Robinson II chipped in with 71 yards.
CHI~Town Finest
CHI~Town Finest will find it tough to complain about lack of opportunity this past week. As a group, our pass-catching corps (two WR and one TE) combined to receive a grand total of 27 targets in Week 17. With just 16 total catches, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
