Coach Talk

True Grit Tommy
You know, the key to football is exploiting the mismatches. We really took that to heart this week by nearly tripling Your Beast of Burton at the wide receiver position (65.8 points to 23.7).
Your Beast of Burton
Unless Your Beast of Burton wants to go full diva-mode, then "not getting many looks" is not a reasonable excuse this time around. As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR and one TE) collectively got a respectable 35 targets in Week 16. With just 14 total catches, this group may have some chemistry issues.
