Coach Talk

Well Oiled Machine
The key to success in football is exploiting the mismatches. Thanks to stellar outings by Amon-Ra St. Brown and Cooper Kupp, our squad really took that to heart this past week. We doubled up Assimilate THIS at wide receiver (27 points to 12). St. Brown had 91 receiving yards while Kupp chipped in with 109 yards.
Assimilate THIS
"Not seeing enough chances" shouldn't really be an excuse this week for Assimilate THIS. As a group, our two wide receivers collectively got a grand total of 14 targets in Week 16. Timing and chemistry seem to be issues as that group managed just eight catches.
