Coach Talk

Struggle Bus
Spotting mismatches is a big key to success in football. Thanks to some monster yardage production from our running backs, our team created a big disparity this week. Our backfield logged 93 more total yards than the RBs on Louisiana Mud Dogs (183 yards from scrimmage to 90), and we ended up doubling up them at the position (36.3 points to 15).
Louisiana Mud Dogs
Well, we certainly can't complain about a shortage of opportunities this time, can we? Our trio of pass-catchers (two WR, one TE) were targeted a grand total of 19 times in Week 16. Those players should spend extra practice time working with their QBs, considering they notched just 11 receptions.
