Coach Talk

Mile High Modernas
You know, the key to football is taking advantage of the mismatches. We really took that to heart this week by thoroughly outplaying King Henry and his subjects at the wide receiver position (52.7 points to 19.5).
King Henry and his subjects
Unless King Henry and his subjects wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not seeing enough opportunities" cannot be a reasonable excuse this week. Our pass-catching corps (three WR and one TE) collectively received a grand total of 19 targets in Week 15. With just 10 total catches, that group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
