Coach Talk

Billy Strings
Spotting mismatches is a huge component to winning in football. We really took that to heart this week by soundly outplaying dmb at the wide receiver position (50.5 points to 18.8).
dmb
"Not getting many chances" won't cut it as an excuse this week for dmb. As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR and one TE) combined to get a healthy 20 targets in Week 16. With only nine total receptions, this group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
