Coach Talk

Demolition men
Football is all about spotting (and exploiting) the mismatches. Not only did we dominate Drunkin Soldiers at WR (33.6 points to 12.8), we also quadrupled them at QB (23.5 points to 5.5).
Drunkin Soldiers
Drunkin Soldiers may find it tough to complain about lack of opportunity this past week. Our pass-catching corps (three WR, one TE) collectively saw a grand total of 20 targets in Week 16. With just 12 total receptions, this group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
