Coach Talk

Dem Boyz
Hey, the key to football is spotting the mismatches. With great performances by James Conner and Najee Harris, our crew definitely made that a point of emphasis this past week.

Welp, we certainly can't complain about a shortage of opportunities this time, can we? As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR and one TE) collectively got a grand total of 23 targets in Week 14. Chemistry seems to be the primary issue, as that group reeled in only 14 receptions.
