Coach Talk

Aj's Best Team
A big key to success in football is creating mismatches. Fueled by some stellar yardage production from our running backs, our team created a big disparity this week. Our three backfield starters put up 128 more total yards than the RBs of The Equalizer (380 yards from scrimmage to 252), as we ultimately doubled up them at the position, 83 points to 39.2.
The Equalizer
Unless The Equalizer wants to go full diva-mode, then "not getting enough looks" doesn't fly as an excuse this week. As a group, our trio of pass-catchers (two WR, one TE) collectively saw a healthy 26 targets in Week 12. With only 15 total catches, that group may have some chemistry issues.
