Coach Talk

Ganaderos
You know, the key to football is spotting the mismatches. We really took that to heart this week by doubling up Michael at the wide receiver position (31.7 points to 14.5).
Michael
Whoa now, talk about under-utilized. The starting backfield for Michael collectively recorded three receptions on only four measly targets this past week. Tell those offensive coordinators to dial up a couple of screen plays in Week 15!
