Coach Talk

Cocks
Spotting mismatches is a huge component to winning in football. We really took that to heart this week by doubling up George Foreman at the wide receiver position (57.4 points to 23.2).
George Foreman
Well, we can't really gripe about a shortage of opportunities this time, can we? As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR and one TE) collectively got a healthy 20 targets in Week 13. With only 10 total receptions, this group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
