Coach Talk

Ridin’ the Tee
The key to success in football is creating mismatches. Thanks to a solid display from Gardner Minshew II, we quadrupled Matt D at the quarterback position this past week (28.7 points to 6.5). Minshew II went 24-for-40 for 355 yards, two TDs, and two INTs in a 40-34 loss to the Cowboys.
Matt D
"Not getting many opportunities" really isn't an excuse this week for Matt D. As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) were targeted a grand total of 26 times in Week 16. Chemistry seems to be the primary problem, as that group notched only 12 catches.
