Coach Talk

With Myself
The key to success in football is identifying the mismatches. We really took that to heart this week by doubling up Kentucky Gentleman at the wide receiver position (92 points to 40).
Kentucky Gentleman
Kentucky Gentleman may find it tough to gripe about lack of opportunity this past week. As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR and one TE) were targeted a hearty 28 times in Week 15. With only 14 total catches, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
