Coach Talk

Road Warriors
Hey, exploiting mismatches is the key to football, right? Along with doubling up HITMAN at RB (48.5 points to 20.2), we also nearly tripled them at QB (34.1 to 11.5).
HITMAN
"Not getting many opportunities" won't fly as an excuse this week for HITMAN. As a group, our pass-catching corps (two WR, one TE) were targeted a grand total of 27 times in Week 15. With only 16 total receptions, this group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
