Coach Talk

Sherry's Sharks
Identifying mismatches is a big component to winning in football. Thanks to a solid outing by Kirk Cousins, we tripled Touchdown Tigers at the quarterback position this past week (33.2 points to 11.04). Cousins went 34-for-54 for 460 yards, four TDs, and two INTs in a three-point triumph over the Colts.
Touchdown Tigers
Welp, we can't really whine about a lack of opportunities this week, can we? As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR and one TE) were targeted a grand total of 29 times in Week 15. With only 17 total receptions, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
