Coach Talk

Shikaka
Hey, this sport is all about exploiting the mismatches, right? We really took that to heart this week by doubling up OVERWHALEMING at the wide receiver position (50.06 points to 20.6).
OVERWHALEMING
Unless OVERWHALEMING wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not seeing enough opportunities" cannot be an excuse this time around. As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR, one TE) collectively saw a whopping 24 targets in Week 16. With just 14 total receptions, this group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
