Coach Talk

Toronto Argonauts
You know, football is all about exploiting the mismatches. Case in point: we made that a point of emphasis by doubling up Blue Crabs at running back this past week (40.1 points to 18.3).
Blue Crabs
Well, we certainly can't gripe about a shortage of opportunities this week, can we? As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR, one TE) were targeted a grand total of 32 times in Week 15. Timing and chemistry seem to be issues as that group reeled in only 19 receptions.
