Coach Talk

Shake and Baker
You know, football is all about exploiting the mismatches. We really took that to heart this week by soundly outplaying Out for Blood at the wide receiver position (20.1 points to 3.2).
Out for Blood
"Not getting many opportunities" won't fly as an excuse this week for Out for Blood. Our trio of pass-catchers (two WR, one TE) were targeted a healthy 19 times in Week 15. Chemistry and timing seem to be issues as that group hauled in just 11 receptions.
