Coach Talk

Somethingfunny
Football is all about exploiting the mismatches. Our squad took that to heart this past week and doubled up Bulldog #9 at the quarterback position (41.2 points to 20.6).
Bulldog #9
Unless Bulldog #9 wants to go full diva-mode, then "not seeing enough looks" doesn't fly as an excuse this time around. Our five pass-catchers (three WR and two TE) were targeted a grand total of 29 times in Week 16. Those players should spend extra practice time working with their QBs, considering they tallied just 15 catches.
