Coach Talk

HITMAN
The key to success in football is spotting (and exploiting) the mismatches. We really took that to heart this week by tripling Big Skillet at the wide receiver position (25.9 points to 8.5).
Big Skillet
Unless Big Skillet wants to go full diva-mode, then "not seeing many opportunities" isn't really a valid excuse this week. Our pass-catching corps (two WR and one TE) combined to see a grand total of 21 targets in Week 14. With only 13 total receptions, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
