Coach Talk

Erik's Glorious Team
Hey, the key to football is taking advantage of the mismatches, right? Case in point: we made that a point of emphasis by doubling up WE DEM BOYZ at running back this past week (22.3 points to 10.4).
WE DEM BOYZ
WE DEM BOYZ will find it tough to gripe about lack of opportunity this past week. As a group, our pass-catching corps (five WR, one TE) collectively saw a grand total of 33 targets in Week 15. With just 18 total catches, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
