Coach Talk

The Corporate Clowns
Hey, creating mismatches is the key to football, right? In addition to doubling up Scar's Squad at QB (40.06 points to 18.1), we also almost quadrupled them at RB (30.9 to 7.9).
Scar's Squad
Unless Scar's Squad wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not getting enough looks" is not a reasonable excuse this week. As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR and one TE) were targeted a whopping 17 times in Week 14. Those players might need to spend more time with the JUGS machine, considering they pulled down only 10 receptions.
