Coach Talk

Shmabby
Hey, creating mismatches is the key to football, right? We really took that to heart this week by doubling up Participation Trophy at the wide receiver position (55.7 points to 26.9).
Participation Trophy
Unless Participation Trophy wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not getting enough opportunities" doesn't fly as an excuse this time around. Our pass-catching corps (three WR and one TE) were targeted a grand total of 19 times in Week 14. With only 11 total receptions, this group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
