Coach Talk

Bull Chips
Identifying mismatches is a huge component to winning in football. We really took that to heart this week by almost quadrupling BULLS09 at the wide receiver position (30 points to 8).
BULLS09
"Not seeing enough looks" isn't a viable excuse this week for BULLS09. As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR, one TE) were targeted a whopping 24 times in Week 15. With only 13 total receptions, that group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
