Coach Talk

Filthy Lucre
Hey, the key to football is exploiting the mismatches, right? We really took that to heart this week by almost quadrupling Chubby Kupp at the wide receiver position (30.7 points to 7.8).
Chubby Kupp
Unless Chubby Kupp wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not seeing enough chances" doesn't fly as an excuse this time around. As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR and one TE) were targeted a healthy 17 times in Week 16. With only eight total catches, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
