Coach Talk

Lucas's Team
You know, football is all about exploiting the mismatches. We really took that to heart this week by almost tripling Doomsday at the wide receiver position (55.8 points to 19.7).
Doomsday
Unless Doomsday wants to go full diva-mode, then "not getting enough looks" isn't really an excuse this time around. As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR, one TE) combined to see a respectable 37 targets in Week 14. Those players might need to spend more time with the JUGS machine, considering they notched only 20 receptions.
