Coach Talk

Thug Nasty Wendeezy
Creating mismatches is a big component to winning in football. We really took that to heart this week by doubling up DezStillGonBeatYoMa at the wide receiver position (34.24 points to 15.54).
DezStillGonBeatYoMa
Unless DezStillGonBeatYoMa wants to go full diva-mode, then "not getting enough chances" isn't really a reasonable excuse this time around. Our pass-catching corps (three WR and one TE) were targeted a healthy 21 times in Week 15. Chemistry seems to be an issue, as that group recorded only 13 catches.
