Coach Talk

Purple Bishops
Hey, the key to football is creating mismatches, right? Thanks to a sound showing from Jalen Hurts, we thoroughly outscored Rips Reps & Revs at the quarterback position this past week (35.7 points to 7.68). Hurts went 22-for-37 for 315 yards in a five-point win over the Bears.
Rips Reps & Revs
"Not seeing many looks" is definitely not an excuse this week for Rips Reps & Revs. Our four pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) were targeted a hearty 38 times in Week 15. Those players might need to get some extra reps with the JUGS machine, considering they pulled down only 20 balls.
