Coach Talk

Lazy Laughing Lizard
A big key to success in football is creating mismatches. We made that a point of emphasis by quadrupling LambeauLeapers at running back this past week (41 points to 10).
LambeauLeapers
LambeauLeapers may find it tough to gripe about lack of opportunities this past week. Our four pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) were targeted a healthy 27 times in Week 15. With just 15 total catches, that group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
