Coach Talk

Nate's Awesome Team
Spotting mismatches is a huge key to success in football. We not only doubled up Saddlers at RB (23.9 points to 10.1), we also royally dominated them at WR (42.4 to 16.7).
Saddlers
Unless Saddlers wants to go full diva-mode, then "not seeing enough looks" can't be an excuse this week. Our pass-catching corps (three WR, one TE) collectively got a grand total of 29 targets in Week 16. With only 16 total catches, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
