Coach Talk

Pizzmaster97
Hey, exploiting mismatches is the key to football, right? Case in point: we really emphasized that by thoroughly outplaying Bruno at running back this past week (20.1 points to 7.95).
Bruno
Bruno may find it tough to complain about lack of opportunities this past week. Our pass-catching corps (three WR, one TE) were targeted a whopping 25 times in Week 14. With only 13 total receptions, this group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
