Coach Talk

C WOOD 1998
Identifying mismatches is a huge key to success in football. Not only did we triple FF5 at QB (29.12 points to 9.63), we also quadrupled them at RB (16.7 to 3.95).
FF5
FF5 will find it tough to complain about lack of opportunities this past week. As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR, one TE) combined to get a grand total of 26 targets in Week 15. Chemistry and timing appear to be issues as that group reeled in just 16 catches.
