Coach Talk

Jefferson Airplane
Creating mismatches is a big component to winning in football. We really took that to heart this week by quadrupling Roadkill at the wide receiver position (54.3 points to 12.9).
Roadkill
Well, we certainly can't complain about a lack of opportunities this time, can we? Our trio of pass-catchers (two WR, one TE) collectively saw a respectable 20 targets in Week 16. With only 12 total catches, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
