Coach Talk

Moe-ssad מוסד
Creating mismatches is a huge component to winning in football. Our team found one this past week and literally doubled up Fightin' Irish at the quarterback position (27.3 points to 11.2).
Fightin' Irish
Well, we can't really whine about a shortage of opportunities this week, can we? As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR, one TE) were targeted a grand total of 18 times in Week 12. With only 10 total receptions, this group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
