Coach Talk

Hades Star
The key to success in football is taking advantage of the mismatches. We really took that to heart this week by doubling up Forty Whiner at the wide receiver position (49.6 points to 20.5).
Forty Whiner
Well, we can't really gripe about a lack of opportunities this time, can we? As a group, our pass-catching corps (two WR, one TE) combined to see a grand total of 26 targets in Week 12. Chemistry appears to be an issue, as that group tallied just 15 catches.
