Coach Talk

GreatPlainsDrifters
The key to success in football is creating mismatches. Case in point: we really took that to heart by doubling up ExigentCircumstances at running back this past week (35.2 points to 17.6).
ExigentCircumstances
Unless ExigentCircumstances wants to go full diva-mode, then "not seeing many chances" doesn't fly as an excuse this time around. Our pass-catching corps (three WR and one TE) combined to see a hearty 23 targets in Week 14. Chemistry appears to be the primary issue, as that group hauled in just 14 catches.
