Coach Talk

The Men of Kryton
Hey, finding mismatches is the key to football, right? We really took that to heart this week by thoroughly outplaying Shelby's Team at the wide receiver position (25.4 points to 9.9).
Shelby's Team
Welp, we certainly can't complain about a shortage of opportunities this time, can we? Our four pass-catchers (three WR and one TE) were targeted a healthy 25 times in Week 13. With just 15 total catches, that group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
