Coach Talk

Big Mikes Asskickers
Hey, the key to football is exploiting the mismatches. We really took that to heart this week by doubling up the last dance at the wide receiver position (49 points to 24.1).
the last dance
the last dance will find it tough to complain about lack of opportunity this past week. As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR and one TE) were targeted a hearty 20 times in Week 12. Chemistry could be an issue, as that group recorded just 12 catches.
