Coach Talk

GreatPlainsDrifters
Identifying mismatches is a huge component to winning in football. Fueled by an awesome outing by Trevor Lawrence, we tripled Boomtown Brawlers at the quarterback position this past week (38 points to 11.5). Lawrence went 27-for-42 for 318 yards, four TDs, and an INT in a 40-34 victory over the Cowboys.
Boomtown Brawlers
Boomtown Brawlers will find it tough to gripe about lack of opportunities this past week. As a group, our pass-catching corps (four WR and one TE) were targeted a grand total of 39 times in Week 15. Chemistry and timing seem to be issues as that group managed just 23 catches.
