Coach Talk

Sneaky Snake Queens
Spotting mismatches is a huge key to success in football. Our squad found one this past week and literally doubled up The Terrified Taters at the quarterback position (127 points to 53).
The Terrified Taters
Unless The Terrified Taters wants to go full diva-mode, then "not seeing enough opportunities" won't cut it as an excuse this week. Our pass-catching corps (four WR and one TE) collectively got a grand total of 31 targets in Week 15. With just 19 total receptions, this group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
