Coach Talk

Redskin Mark 6
The key to success in football is taking advantage of the mismatches. We really took that to heart this week by quadrupling Ghetto Elks at the wide receiver position (734 points to 165).
Ghetto Elks
Well, we certainly can't complain about a lack of opportunities this time, can we? As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR and two TE) were targeted a grand total of 31 times in Week 15. Chemistry and timing seem to be issues as that group tallied only 19 catches.
