Coach Talk

dj bos27
Identifying mismatches is a big component to winning in football. We really took that to heart this week by almost quadrupling Dre1Don at the wide receiver position (24.2 points to 6.3).
Dre1Don
"Not getting many opportunities" isn't a reasonable excuse this week for Dre1Don. Our trio of pass-catchers (two WR and one TE) were targeted a grand total of 15 times in Week 15. Chemistry could be an issue, as that group notched only eight receptions.
