Coach Talk

DreDeWinner🤑
Spotting mismatches is a big key to success in football. Fueled by some monster yardage production from our ball-carriers, our team certainly made that happen this week. Our three starting backs tallied 268 more yards from scrimmage than the RBs on Hyenas Gon' Eat (473 total yards to 205), as we ultimately doubled up them at the position (103 points to 51).
Hyenas Gon' Eat
Unless Hyenas Gon' Eat wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not getting enough chances" is not a valid excuse this time around. As a group, our trio of pass-catchers (two WR, one TE) collectively got a hearty 25 targets in Week 15. With just 14 total receptions, this group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
