Coach Talk

Uwilltap2me
You know, football is all about spotting and exploiting the mismatches. Our team took that to heart this past week and thoroughly outscored Run That Back at the quarterback position (29 points to 11).
Run That Back
Well, we certainly can't complain about a shortage of opportunities this week, can we? As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR and one TE) collectively saw a hearty 32 targets in Week 15. Those players should participate in some additional timing drills with their QBs, considering they managed only 19 receptions.
