Coach Talk

Splintered
The key to success in football is taking advantage of the mismatches. Case in point: we really took that to heart by thoroughly dominating What?! at running back this past week (51 points to 10).
What?!
"Not getting many chances" really isn't an excuse this week for What?!. Our pass-catching corps (three WR, one TE) were targeted a grand total of 22 times in Week 12. Chemistry and timing seem to be issues as that group tallied just 13 catches.
