Coach Talk

JPP's Paw
Hey, the key to football is taking advantage of the mismatches. We really took that to heart this week by utterly dominating MattAttack at the wide receiver position (45.1 points to 17.9).
MattAttack
MattAttack may find it tough to complain about lack of opportunity this past week. As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR and one TE) were targeted a grand total of 18 times in Week 15. Chemistry and timing seem to be issues as that group notched just nine catches.
