Coach Talk

The Shield
Identifying mismatches is a big key to success in football. We really took that to heart this week by tripling Best-Intentions at the wide receiver position (31 points to 9).
Best-Intentions
Welp, we can't really complain about a lack of opportunities this time, can we? Our four pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) were targeted a grand total of 26 times in Week 15. Those players should try to get some extra practice reps in with their QBs, considering they reeled in just 12 balls.
