Coach Talk

TD's with DD's
Identifying mismatches is a huge key to success in football. With some monster yardage production from our running backs, our team created a big disparity this week. Our three starting backs logged 189 more yards from scrimmage than the RBs on James's Marvelous Team (289 total yards to 100), as we ultimately doubled up them at the position, 39.9 points to 17.5.
James's Marvelous Team
Well, we certainly can't complain about a shortage of opportunities this week, can we? Our pass-catching corps (three WR and one TE) were targeted a grand total of 24 times in Week 16. Chemistry and timing seem to be issues as that group recorded just 13 catches.
