Coach Talk

Zieser's Pleazers
Hey, exploiting mismatches is the key to football, right? We really took that to heart this week by thoroughly outplaying The Rebels at the wide receiver position (68.8 points to 26.7).

"Not seeing many chances" really isn't an excuse this week for The Rebels. As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) collectively received a respectable 19 targets in Week 14. Those players should spend extra practice time working with their QBs, considering they hauled in just 10 balls.
