Coach Talk

All Stars
Identifying mismatches is a big component to winning in football. Thanks to a solid showing from Ryan Tannehill, we nearly tripled FW's Team at the quarterback position this past week (37.02 points to 13.04). Tannehill went 21-for-27 for 273 yards, three TDs, and no INTs in a 46-25 triumph over the Lions.
FW's Team
Unless FW's Team wants to go full diva-mode, then "not seeing many chances" doesn't fly as an excuse this time around. As a group, our pass-catching corps (two WR and one TE) combined to see a grand total of 17 targets in Week 15. Chemistry appears to be an issue, as that group pulled down only eight receptions.
