Coach Talk

Norman Nobodies
Identifying mismatches is a big key to success in football. We really took that to heart this week by doubling up Hangovers at the wide receiver position (76.65 points to 35.4).
Hangovers
Welp, we certainly can't gripe about a lack of opportunities this time, can we? As a group, our pass-catching corps (five WR and one TE) collectively got a grand total of 33 targets in Week 15. Timing and chemistry appear to be issues as that group recorded just 17 catches.
