Coach Talk

Cyclones
You know, the key to football is exploiting the mismatches. We really took that to heart by doubling up Good As Gould at running back this past week (40.85 points to 18.1).
Good As Gould
Unless Good As Gould wants to go full diva-mode, then "not getting many chances" isn't really a valid excuse this week. As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR, one TE) were targeted a hearty 17 times in Week 12. With just six total catches, that group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
