Coach Talk

Buttercumbersnatch
A big key to success in football is creating mismatches. We really took that to heart this week by doubling up Waves at the wide receiver position (62 points to 27).
Waves
"Not seeing many chances" isn't a viable excuse this week for Waves. As a group, our pass-catching corps (four WR and one TE) combined to receive a whopping 27 targets in Week 13. With only 13 total receptions, this group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
