Coach Talk

THE CIRCLE
This sport is all about creating mismatches. We really took that to heart this week by thoroughly outplaying King Cobras at the wide receiver position (86 points to 24).
King Cobras
Well, we certainly can't complain about a lack of opportunities this time, can we? As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR and one TE) were targeted a whopping 27 times in Week 15. With just 16 total receptions, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
