Coach Talk

THE CIRCLE
Spotting mismatches is a huge component to winning in football. Not only did we triple Dawgman at WR (41 points to 13), we also thoroughly dominated them at RB (52 to 11).
Dawgman
Dawgman may find it tough to complain about lack of opportunities this past week. Our trio of pass-catchers (two WR and one TE) were targeted a grand total of 13 times in Week 15. Chemistry and timing appear to be issues as that group hauled in just seven receptions.
