Coach Talk

Bruisin’ Egos
Hey, the key to football is spotting the mismatches. We really took that to heart this week by doubling up CC15 at the wide receiver position (41.3 points to 20.4).
CC15
CC15 may find it tough to complain about lack of opportunities this past week. As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR, one TE) were targeted a grand total of 19 times in Week 15. Chemistry and timing seem to be issues as that group managed only nine catches.
