Coach Talk

Mert's Marauders
Hey, creating mismatches is the key to football, right? We made that a point of emphasis by doubling up BOB at running back this past week (38.9 points to 18.2).
BOB
Well, we can't really whine about a shortage of opportunities this time, can we? Our pass-catching corps (four WR and one TE) collectively received a healthy 43 targets in Week 12. Timing and chemistry seem to be issues as that group tallied just 24 receptions.
