Coach Talk

Lords of Football
Identifying mismatches is a huge key to success in football. Thanks to an awesome performance from Kyler Murray, we doubled up Tampa Bay Hitmen at the quarterback position this past week (43.2 points to 19.35). Murray went 27-for-36 for 406 yards, three TDs, and an INT in a 33-26 win over the Eagles.
Tampa Bay Hitmen
Unless Tampa Bay Hitmen wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not getting enough chances" won't cut it as an excuse this time around. Our four pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) were targeted a grand total of 23 times in Week 15. With only 13 total catches, that group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
