Coach Talk

The Whiskey Kid
The key to success in football is creating mismatches. We really took that to heart this week by tripling Crown Royal at the wide receiver position (60.22 points to 18.27).
Crown Royal
Unless Crown Royal wants to go full diva-mode, then "not seeing many looks" won't cut it as an excuse this week. Our pass-catching corps (three WR and one TE) combined to get a hearty 27 targets in Week 17. With only 14 total receptions, this group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
