Coach Talk

Petey T's Truthers
Hey, the key to football is exploiting the mismatches, right? Thanks to stellar numbers from our receiving corps, our squad really took that to heart this past week. We doubled up The Comeback Kid at wide receiver (18.9 points to 9.1). Cooper Kupp had 129 receiving yards while Jakobi Meyers logged zero yards.
The Comeback Kid
"Not seeing enough looks" won't cut it as an excuse this week for The Comeback Kid. As a group, our pass-catching corps (two WR and one TE) were targeted a grand total of 19 times in Week 13. With just nine total catches, this group may have some chemistry issues.
