Coach Talk

VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION
You know, the key to football is exploiting the mismatches. Case in point: we really emphasized that by doubling up Ibbyszn at running back this past week (43.5 points to 19.7).
Ibbyszn
"Not seeing enough chances" can't be a reasonable excuse this week for Ibbyszn. As a group, our pass-catching corps (two WR and one TE) combined to see a grand total of 23 targets in Week 13. With just 13 total receptions, that group may have some chemistry issues.
