Coach Talk

Gamblers
Hey, football is all about finding the mismatches. Case in point: we really emphasized that by thoroughly outplaying SBR MonStars at running back this past week (37.5 points to 5.2).
SBR MonStars
SBR MonStars may find it tough to gripe about lack of opportunities this past week. As a group, our four pass-catchers (two WR, two TE) collectively got a grand total of 24 targets in Week 14. With just 13 total receptions, this group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
