Coach Talk

M@RkY
Hey, the key to football is spotting (and then exploiting) the mismatches. Not only did we double up Kyle's Glorious Team at WR (47.2 points to 22.2), we also royally dominated them at QB (46.92 points to 5.58).
Kyle's Glorious Team
"Not getting enough chances" isn't a viable excuse this week for Kyle's Glorious Team. Our pass-catching corps (four WR and one TE) were targeted a grand total of 37 times in Week 16. With just 21 total catches, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
