Coach Talk

JT CITY
The key to success in football is creating mismatches. We really took that to heart this week by doubling up Nuk Nuk Jokes at the wide receiver position (53.2 points to 22).
Nuk Nuk Jokes
Unless Nuk Nuk Jokes wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not getting many looks" can't be a viable excuse this week. As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR and one TE) were targeted a grand total of 24 times in Week 15. Those players should try to get some extra practice reps in with their QBs, considering they managed only 14 catches.
