Coach Talk

Owen Sixteen
You know, this sport is all about exploiting the mismatches. Fueled by some stellar yardage production from our running backs, our team created a noticeable disparity this week. Our backfield recorded 242 more yards from scrimmage than the RBs of WannaBes (325 total yards to 83), as we ultimately royally dominated them at the position (51.5 points to 8.3).
WannaBes
Well, we certainly can't complain about a shortage of opportunities this time, can we? As a group, our trio of pass-catchers (two WR, one TE) were targeted a grand total of 16 times in Week 15. Those players might need to hit the practice field, considering they pulled down only 10 balls.
