Coach Talk

Julian 3
The key to success in football is spotting (and exploiting) the mismatches. We really took that to heart this week by almost quadrupling Public League 2 at the wide receiver position (49.5 points to 12.4).
Public League 2
Public League 2 will find it tough to complain about lack of opportunity this past week. As a group, our pass-catching corps (two WR, one TE) were targeted a grand total of 28 times in Week 16. With just 16 total receptions, this group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
