Coach Talk

Dog House Blues
Hey, the key to football is creating mismatches, right? With some stellar yardage production from our running backs, our team certainly made that happen this week. Our three backfield starters logged 175 more yards from scrimmage than the RBs of Andrew Gitin's Best Team (308 total yards to 133), as we ultimately doubled up them at the position, 46.8 points to 21.3.
Andrew Gitin's Best Team
So, Andrew Gitin's Best Team, what did your pass-catchers do to get written out of their teams' game plans this week? With just 10 targets combined in Week 16, our starting receiver crew (two WR, one TE) clearly need to get on their QBs' good sides this week in practice.
