Coach Talk

Blue Dragons
Football is all about exploiting the mismatches. Not only did we double up Scuba Divers at QB (24.56 points to 11.4), we also utterly dominated them at RB (31.2 to 11.8).
Scuba Divers
Well, we certainly can't whine about a lack of opportunities this week, can we? Our four pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) were targeted a healthy 34 times in Week 14. Chemistry seems to be the primary problem, as that group notched just 20 catches.
