Coach Talk

BIG POPA
Spotting mismatches is a big component to winning in football. Case in point: we really took that to heart by tripling James's Genius Team at running back this past week (66.3 points to 21.4).
James's Genius Team
"Not getting enough looks" isn't a reasonable excuse this week for James's Genius Team. As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR and one TE) collectively got a grand total of 20 targets in Week 11. With only 11 total receptions, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
