Coach Talk

SuckMikeDitka
You know, the key to football is finding the mismatches. We really took that to heart this week by doubling up Trey Area at the wide receiver position (29.2 points to 12.8).
Trey Area
Unless Trey Area wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not getting many opportunities" is not an excuse this week. As a group, our four pass-catchers (two WR and two TE) were targeted a grand total of 20 times in Week 10. Those players should try to get some extra practice reps in with their QBs, considering they tallied just 12 catches.
