Coach Talk

Tachov Aquarius
Creating mismatches is a huge key to success in football. Fueled by a solid performance by Aaron Rodgers, we doubled up Rici3 SANCHEZ MVP at the quarterback position this past week (23.82 points to 11.48). Rodgers went 23-for-31 for 268 yards and three TDs in a 31-30 triumph over the Ravens.
Rici3 SANCHEZ MVP
"Not getting enough looks" is definitely not an excuse this week for Rici3 SANCHEZ MVP. Our four pass-catchers (three WR and one TE) were targeted a respectable 19 times in Week 15. With only seven total receptions, this group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
