Coach Talk

LarryDavidShrimp
Creating mismatches is a big key to success in football. We not only dominated LaphroaigBenchWarmer at WR (55 points to 22), we also thoroughly dominated them at QB (65 points to 18).
LaphroaigBenchWarmer
Well, we can't really whine about a lack of opportunities this time, can we? As a group, our pass-catching corps (two WR, one TE) were targeted a grand total of 22 times in Week 12. With just 11 total receptions, this group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
