Coach Talk

Dragon's Pearl
A big key to success in football is creating mismatches. We really took that to heart this week by royally dominating #1DolFan14 at the wide receiver position (56.74 points to 22).
#1DolFan14
Welp, we can't really complain about a shortage of opportunities this time, can we? Our pass-catching corps (three WR and one TE) collectively saw a hearty 32 targets in Week 16. With just 16 total receptions, this group may have some chemistry issues.
