Coach Talk

669 HOTBOYZ
Hey, football is all about taking advantage of the mismatches. Our team found one this past week and literally tripled Brett’s Team at the quarterback position (43.86 points to 13.86).
Brett’s Team
"Not getting many opportunities" really isn't an excuse this week for Brett’s Team. As a group, our pass-catching corps (two WR, one TE) were targeted a healthy 21 times in Week 15. Those players should spend extra practice time working with their QBs, considering they pulled down just 13 balls.
