Coach Talk

jichanorthNJ
You know, the key to football is finding the mismatches. We really took that to heart this week by royally dominating Big Blue at the wide receiver position (42.2 points to 15.7).
Big Blue
Welp, we can't really gripe about a lack of opportunities this time, can we? As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR and one TE) combined to get a healthy 27 targets in Week 16. Chemistry and timing appear to be issues as that group hauled in only 15 balls.
