Coach Talk

Nate's Awesome Team
Hey, football is all about exploiting the mismatches. We made that a point of emphasis by doubling up Saddlers at running back this past week (44.1 points to 20.9).
Saddlers
Saddlers will find it tough to complain about lack of opportunity this past week. Our pass-catching corps (three WR and one TE) were targeted a grand total of 23 times in Week 15. With just 13 total catches, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
