Coach Talk

Burrow Underground
You know, football is all about exploiting the mismatches. We not only almost tripled Pitts on my shaft at WR (38.6 points to 13.4), we also tripled them at QB (38.9 points to 12.2).
Pitts on my shaft
Unless Pitts on my shaft wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not getting many chances" can't be a reasonable excuse this week. Our pass-catching corps (three WR, one TE) collectively got a grand total of 19 targets in Week 17. With only nine total receptions, this group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
