Coach Talk

Kentucky Zombie
Hey, this sport is all about spotting (and then exploiting) the mismatches. We really took that to heart this week by doubling up Wildebeasts at the wide receiver position (60.3 points to 24.5).
Wildebeasts
"Not getting enough looks" shouldn't really be an excuse this week for Wildebeasts. Our trio of pass-catchers (two WR, one TE) were targeted a hearty 23 times in Week 16. Chemistry and timing appear to be issues as that group recorded just 14 catches.
