Coach Talk

WarEagle
Creating mismatches is a huge key to success in football. We really took that to heart this week by soundly outplaying SAWTOOTHS at the wide receiver position (57.8 points to 21.5).
SAWTOOTHS
Well, we can't really gripe about a lack of opportunities this time, can we? As a group, our pass-catching corps (four WR and one TE) collectively got a whopping 25 targets in Week 15. Chemistry could be an issue, as that group hauled in just 13 balls.
