Coach Talk

Ang_Ubod
Hey, creating mismatches is the key to football, right? In addition to dominating Cervelo at RB (24 points to 9), we also utterly dominated them at WR (24 to 5).
Cervelo
Cervelo will find it tough to gripe about lack of opportunity this past week. As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) were targeted a whopping 24 times in Week 15. Those players might need to get some extra reps with the JUGS machine, considering they pulled down only 14 receptions.
