Coach Talk

IDP Knuckle Heads
Hey, this sport is all about creating mismatches, right? We really took that to heart this week by nearly tripling Iso Rockets at the wide receiver position (45 points to 16).
Iso Rockets
Unless Iso Rockets wants to go full diva-mode, then "not seeing many opportunities" doesn't fly as an excuse this time around. As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR, one TE) were targeted a grand total of 38 times in Week 13. Timing and chemistry appear to be issues as that group recorded just 23 receptions.
