Coach Talk

Kyle's Victorious Team
Hey, football is all about exploiting the mismatches. Our team found one this past week and almost tripled Carson’s Team at the quarterback position (30.98 points to 10.86).
Carson’s Team
"Not getting many opportunities" isn't a reasonable excuse this week for Carson’s Team. As a group, our pass-catching corps (two WR, one TE) collectively saw a grand total of 23 targets in Week 16. With only 13 total receptions, this group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
