Coach Talk

kevin's Crazy Team
You know, this sport is all about exploiting the mismatches. We really took that to heart this week by thoroughly dominating Packer Backer at the wide receiver position (35 points to 4.7).
Packer Backer
Unless Packer Backer wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not seeing enough opportunities" cannot be an excuse this time around. As a group, our trio of pass-catchers (two WR, one TE) combined to receive a grand total of 23 targets in Week 14. Those players might need to spend more time with the JUGS machine, considering they hauled in just 11 balls.
