Coach Talk

Big Blue
Spotting mismatches is a big component to winning in football. Case in point: we made that a point of emphasis by tripling Joel's Father at running back this past week (20.8 points to 6.4).
Joel's Father
Well, we certainly can't complain about a shortage of opportunities this time, can we? As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR, one TE) combined to see a grand total of 30 targets in Week 15. Chemistry appears to be the primary problem, as that group tallied just 18 catches.
