Coach Talk

LongBeach Big Ditkas
Hey, the key to football is creating mismatches, right? We really took that to heart this week by tripling Tomb Raiders at the wide receiver position (46.6 points to 14.1).
Tomb Raiders
Tomb Raiders will find it tough to gripe about lack of opportunities this past week. As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR, one TE) combined to get a grand total of 31 targets in Week 16. With just 19 total receptions, this group may have some chemistry issues.
