Coach Talk

NoFatChicks
Football is all about creating mismatches. With solid performances by Mike Davis and Melvin Gordon III, our crew certainly took that to heart this past week. We utterly dominated ReEL'm iN at the running back spot (38.4 points to 7.1). Davis had 93 total yards and two TDs, while Gordon III chipped in with 91 yards.
ReEL'm iN
Unless ReEL'm iN wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not seeing enough opportunities" can't be a reasonable excuse this week. Our five pass-catchers (four WR, one TE) collectively got a hearty 32 targets in Week 14. With only 18 total receptions, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
