Coach Talk

PatrickD's Team
You know, this sport is all about exploiting the mismatches. We really emphasized that by thoroughly overpowering Ruffian's at running back this past week (33.55 points to 12.6).
Ruffian's
Ruffian's will find it tough to complain about lack of opportunities this past week. Our six pass-catchers (four WR and two TE) were targeted a hearty 34 times in Week 15. Chemistry and timing appear to be issues as that group notched just 20 catches.
