Coach Talk

Bulletproof Brandt
A big key to success in football is taking advantage of the mismatches. Case in point: we made that a point of emphasis by tripling Taurusman at running back this past week (27.8 points to 8.4).
Taurusman
"Not getting enough chances" can't be a reasonable excuse this week for Taurusman. Our trio of pass-catchers (two WR, one TE) were targeted a grand total of 26 times in Week 15. Timing and chemistry seem to be issues as that group pulled down only nine balls.
