Coach Talk

Durock
Creating mismatches is a big key to success in football. Thanks to a solid performance from Lamar Jackson, we doubled up Supervolt Weasels at the quarterback position this past week (42.9 points to 18.7). Jackson went 16-for-25 for 145 yards, three TDs, and an INT in a 24-17 win over the Bills.
Supervolt Weasels
Well, we can't really complain about a shortage of opportunities this week, can we? Our pass-catching corps (three WR and one TE) were targeted a respectable 30 times in Week 14. Those players might need to spend more time with the JUGS machine, considering they tallied only 18 catches.
