Coach Talk

Wolfpack
A big key to success in football is spotting (and exploiting) the mismatches. Fueled by stellar outings by DJ Moore and Calvin Ridley, our squad really took that to heart this past week. We doubled up Dennis's Team at wide receiver (47.4 points to 20.3). Moore had 126 receiving yards and two TDs while Ridley logged 85 yards.
Dennis's Team
Unless Dennis's Team wants to go full diva-mode, then "not seeing many chances" can't be an excuse this time around. Our trio of pass-catchers (two WR and one TE) were targeted a grand total of 22 times in Week 12. With only 13 total receptions, that group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
