Coach Talk

Gritz Blitz
Hey, the key to football is finding the mismatches, right? We really took that to heart this week by doubling up Spoon at the wide receiver position (28 points to 13).
Spoon
Welp, we can't really whine about a lack of opportunities this week, can we? Our two wide receivers combined to see a hearty 18 targets in Week 16. Chemistry could be a problem, as that group hauled in just 11 catches.
