Coach Talk

Tomahawk Chop
A big key to success in football is creating mismatches. We really took that to heart this week by royally dominating The Reeks and Wrecks at the wide receiver position (107.7 points to 19.7).
The Reeks and Wrecks
Unless The Reeks and Wrecks wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not seeing enough looks" doesn't fly as an excuse this time around. Our pass-catching corps (six WR, one TE) were targeted a grand total of 40 times in Week 13. With only 19 total catches, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
