Coach Talk

Weaver’s Believers
Hey, the key to football is creating mismatches, right? We really took that to heart this week by doubling up Do Sutton 'bout it at the wide receiver position (37 points to 18.1).
Do Sutton 'bout it
Unless Do Sutton 'bout it wants to go full diva-mode, then "not seeing enough opportunities" isn't really a valid excuse this time around. Our four pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) collectively saw a whopping 32 targets in Week 16. Timing and chemistry appear to be issues as that group managed just 15 receptions.
