Coach Talk

Sandbagging
Hey, the key to football is creating mismatches, right? We really took that to heart this week by doubling up Turkey Jones at the wide receiver position (38.1 points to 17.9).
Turkey Jones
Unless Turkey Jones wants to go full diva-mode, then "not getting many looks" isn't really an excuse this week. As a group, our pass-catching corps (five WR and one TE) collectively got a respectable 33 targets in Week 12. With just 17 total catches, that group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
