Coach Talk

Kangray
A big key to success in football is finding the mismatches. Our squad took that to heart this past week and doubled up Just Win at the quarterback position (39.19 points to 19.23).
Just Win
Well, we certainly can't complain about a shortage of opportunities this time, can we? Our five pass-catchers (three WR, two TE) collectively received a healthy 27 targets in Week 15. Those players should spend extra practice time working with their QBs, considering they pulled down just 16 balls.
