Coach Talk

IncubatingEagles
Spotting mismatches is a big component to winning in football. Not only did we double up Tools On Stools at QB (23.72 points to 11.14), we also doubled them at RB (36.7 to 16.5).
Tools On Stools
"Not seeing many looks" is definitely not a reasonable excuse this week for Tools On Stools. Our pass-catching corps (three WR, one TE) were targeted a grand total of 20 times in Week 14. Those players might need to spend more time with the JUGS machine, considering they recorded only 11 receptions.
