Coach Talk

Chocolate Giddyup
A big key to success in football is creating mismatches. We really took that to heart this week by doubling up Top Gun at the wide receiver position (33.94 points to 15.26).
Top Gun
"Not getting many chances" isn't a valid excuse this week for Top Gun. As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR and one TE) were targeted a hearty 35 times in Week 13. With just 17 total catches, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
