Coach Talk

Kerryon My Wayward..
A big key to success in football is creating mismatches. Thanks to a sound performance from Aaron Rodgers, we royally dominated Disciples of Ezekiel at the quarterback position this past week (35.14 points to 9.66). Rodgers went 21-for-25 for 231 yards, four TDs, and an INT in a 40-14 victory over the Titans.
Disciples of Ezekiel
Disciples of Ezekiel will find it tough to gripe about lack of opportunities this past week. As a group, our five pass-catchers (four WR, one TE) collectively got a grand total of 42 targets in Week 16. With only 23 total receptions, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
