Coach Talk

Laoskin
Hey, the key to football is recognizing the mismatches, right? We really emphasized that by thoroughly outplaying Skin Thack at running back this past week (54.3 points to 11.5).
Skin Thack
Hey, at least there were no celebration penalties: The six offensive position starters on Skin Thack (three WRs, two RBs, one TE) combined to record a whopping 464 total yards. Unfortunately, not one of those players could find his way to the end zone in Week 16.
