Coach Talk

Orange Herbert
A big key to success in football is creating mismatches. Thanks to a solid outing by Justin Herbert, we doubled up Flutie Flakes at the quarterback position this past week (33.28 points to 13.7). Herbert went 26-for-35 for 317 yards, three TDs, and an INT in a 41-22 win over the Bengals.
Flutie Flakes
"Not getting many chances" really isn't an excuse this week for Flutie Flakes. As a group, our trio of pass-catchers (two WR, one TE) were targeted a grand total of 26 times in Week 13. Chemistry and timing seem to be issues as that group notched only 15 catches.
