Coach Talk

QO_古畑任三郎
Identifying mismatches is a big component to winning in football. We really took that to heart this week by doubling up The Bark That Hurts at the wide receiver position (39.45 points to 16.6).
The Bark That Hurts
Unless The Bark That Hurts wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not getting enough chances" is not a viable excuse this week. Our four pass-catchers (three WR and one TE) combined to see a grand total of 23 targets in Week 15. With just 13 total catches, this group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
