Coach Talk

Syodoshima Baystars
Hey, the key to football is creating mismatches, right? Not only did we almost quadruple Phantoms at WR (53 points to 14.1), we also nearly quadrupled them at QB (45.36 points to 11.72).
Phantoms
Well, we certainly can't complain about a shortage of opportunities this time, can we? As a group, our trio of pass-catchers (two WR and one TE) combined to see a grand total of 16 targets in Week 15. Those players might need to hit the practice field, considering they recorded just eight catches.
