Coach Talk

Nightmares
You know, the key to football is spotting the mismatches. We really took that to heart this week by doubling up Orange bloods at the wide receiver position (60.4 points to 26.3).
Orange bloods
Unless Orange bloods wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not getting enough chances" doesn't fly as an excuse this time around. As a group, our five pass-catchers (four WR and one TE) collectively got a grand total of 33 targets in Week 13. Chemistry could be an issue, as that group recorded only 14 receptions.
