Coach Talk

NY Giants /Big Blue
Identifying mismatches is a huge component to winning in football. We really took that to heart by utterly dominating scott's Team at running back this past week (83.5 points to 30.5).
scott's Team
"Not seeing many opportunities" really isn't an excuse this week for scott's Team. As a group, our six pass-catchers (five WR and one TE) combined to see a healthy 32 targets in Week 15. Chemistry and timing seem to be issues as that group reeled in only 16 receptions.
