Coach Talk

DUNKS DESTROYERS
Identifying mismatches is a big key to success in football. Thanks to some monster yardage production from our running backs, our team really made that happen this week. Our three backfield starters put up 247 more yards from scrimmage than the RBs on KayCee Chiefs (324 total yards to 77), and we wound up utterly dominating them at the position, 45.9 points to 8.7.
KayCee Chiefs
Well, we certainly can't complain about a shortage of opportunities this week, can we? As a group, our trio of pass-catchers (two WR and one TE) were targeted a grand total of 14 times in Week 15. Timing and chemistry appear to be issues as that group hauled in only eight balls.
