Coach Talk

Raged Barbarians
Football is all about finding the mismatches. Thanks to stellar showings by Julio Jones and DJ Moore, our squad really took that to heart this past week. We doubled up Cowboy Dave at wide receiver (48.2 points to 22.2). Jones had 134 receiving yards and two TDs while Moore chipped in with 113 yards.
Cowboy Dave
Unless Cowboy Dave wants to go full diva-mode, then "not seeing many opportunities" won't cut it as an excuse this time around. Our trio of pass-catchers (two WR and one TE) collectively got a healthy 25 targets in Week 15. Chemistry could be the primary issue, as that group recorded only 13 receptions.
