Coach Talk

dem catz
Identifying mismatches is a big component to winning in football. Our team found one this past week and royally dominated Team Pluto at the quarterback position (24.98 points to 9.86).
Team Pluto
Unless Team Pluto wants to go full diva-mode, then "not seeing enough looks" isn't really a valid excuse this week. As a group, our trio of pass-catchers (two WR, one TE) were targeted a grand total of 19 times in Week 16. With only 10 total catches, this group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
