Coach Talk

Black Hyenas
Football is all about creating mismatches. We really took that to heart this week by doubling up King Cobras at the wide receiver position (43 points to 19).
King Cobras
Well, we can't really whine about a lack of opportunities this time, can we? As a group, our pass-catching corps (two WR and one TE) were targeted a grand total of 23 times in Week 13. With only 11 total receptions, this group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
