Coach Talk

Raul Perez's Team
Hey, this sport is all about taking advantage of the mismatches. We really took that to heart this week by utterly dominating Hard Knockers at the wide receiver position (60.6 points to 17.2).
Hard Knockers
Unless Hard Knockers wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not seeing many chances" is not an excuse this week. As a group, our pass-catching corps (four WR and one TE) were targeted a healthy 32 times in Week 15. Those players should try to get some extra practice reps in with their QBs, considering they pulled down only 17 balls.
