Coach Talk

Pink Scorpions
The key to success in football is exploiting the mismatches. We really took that to heart this week by soundly outplaying louis's Team at the wide receiver position (26.8 points to 10.2).
louis's Team
Well, we can't really gripe about a lack of opportunities this time, can we? As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR and one TE) were targeted a grand total of 21 times in Week 15. With just eight total catches, this group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
