Coach Talk

Real McCoys
Football is all about exploiting the mismatches. Thanks to stellar outings by Robert Woods and Amari Cooper, our team really took that to heart this past week. We thoroughly dominated George A Custer at wide receiver (39.5 points to 4.9). Woods had 98 receiving yards while Cooper logged 83 yards.
George A Custer
"Not seeing enough chances" won't cut it as an excuse this week for George A Custer. Our trio of pass-catchers (two WR, one TE) combined to receive a respectable 13 targets in Week 14. Those players might need to hit the practice field, considering they managed only eight receptions.
