Coach Talk

Pickle Rick!
Spotting mismatches is a huge key to success in football. We not only doubled up LA Bolts at WR (41.3 points to 18), we also doubled them at RB (34 to 14.8).
LA Bolts
Unless LA Bolts wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not getting many opportunities" isn't really a viable excuse this time around. As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR, one TE) were targeted a whopping 33 times in Week 16. Those players should participate in some additional timing drills with their QBs, considering they managed only 15 catches.
