Coach Talk

HELMETS
Hey, this sport is all about creating mismatches, right? Thanks to some monster yardage production from our ball-carriers, our team certainly made that happen this week. Our three starting backs logged 97 more total yards than the RBs of Yoga Pants (283 yards from scrimmage to 186), and we ended up doubling up them at the position, 53.8 points to 26.1.
Yoga Pants
Welp, we can't really whine about a lack of opportunities this time, can we? As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) were targeted a hearty 39 times in Week 16. Chemistry and timing seem to be issues as that group pulled down just 20 receptions.
