Coach Talk

MileHigh Mustangs
The key to success in football is exploiting the mismatches. Our squad took that to heart this past week and literally doubled up WeDemBoyz at the quarterback position (399.6 points to 180.83).
WeDemBoyz
Unless WeDemBoyz wants to go full diva-mode, then "not seeing many chances" cannot be an excuse this time around. Our four pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) collectively received a respectable 21 targets in Week 16. Chemistry could be an issue, as that group hauled in only 12 catches.
