Coach Talk

Necessary Roughness
Hey, the key to football is spotting the mismatches. Thanks to stellar showings by DK Metcalf and Hunter Renfrow, our team really took that to heart this past week. We doubled up Planet X Comets at wide receiver (44.9 points to 19.9). Metcalf had 63 receiving yards and three TDs while Renfrow logged 76 yards.
Planet X Comets
Well, we certainly can't complain about a lack of opportunities this week, can we? Our trio of pass-catchers (two WR and one TE) were targeted a grand total of 13 times in Week 17. With only eight total catches, that group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
