Coach Talk

The White Knucklers
Hey, football is all about creating mismatches, right? We really took that to heart this week by utterly dominating Mr big puff at the wide receiver position (48.7 points to 8.7).

Well, we certainly can't complain about a shortage of opportunities this time, can we? Our pass-catching corps (four WR, one TE) were targeted a healthy 26 times in Week 15. Those players might need to hit the practice field, considering they pulled down only 16 balls.
