Coach Talk

AZTECS
The key to success in football is exploiting the mismatches. We really took that to heart this week by doubling up Eli Manning Sucks at the wide receiver position (79 points to 37.3).
Eli Manning Sucks
Well, we certainly can't whine about a lack of opportunities this time, can we? Our pass-catching corps (two WR and one TE) were targeted a grand total of 23 times in Week 17. Timing and chemistry seem to be issues as that group tallied just 12 catches.
