Coach Talk

Amanda Hugginkiss™️
Spotting mismatches is a huge component to winning in football. We not only tripled Touchdown Abbey at WR (41.5 points to 13.2), we also almost quadrupled them at RB (35.8 to 9.4).
Touchdown Abbey
Unless Touchdown Abbey wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not getting many chances" won't cut it as an excuse this time around. Our four pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) were targeted a whopping 25 times in Week 12. Chemistry seems to be the primary issue, as that group recorded just 13 catches.
