Coach Talk

The Mid Rounders
Identifying mismatches is a huge key to success in football. Case in point: we made that a point of emphasis by doubling up Joe Brrr at running back this past week (30.8 points to 12.9).
Joe Brrr
"Not getting many opportunities" really isn't an excuse this week for Joe Brrr. As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) were targeted a grand total of 28 times in Week 14. Chemistry and timing seem to be issues as that group recorded just 16 catches.
