Coach Talk

I Understood That Reference
Hey, creating mismatches is the key to football, right? We made that a point of emphasis by tripling Scruffy Nerfherders at running back this past week (25.6 points to 7.4).
Scruffy Nerfherders
Well, we can't really whine about a shortage of opportunities this week, can we? As a group, our five pass-catchers (four WR and one TE) were targeted a grand total of 28 times in Week 15. Those players should try to get some extra practice reps in with their QBs, considering they pulled down just 13 balls.
