Coach Talk

Rorschach
A big key to success in football is exploiting the mismatches. With some monster yardage production from our running backs, our team created a big disparity this week. Our three starting backs tallied 181 more yards from scrimmage than the RBs on Aquaman14 (341 total yards to 160), and we wound up royally dominating them at the position, 72.11 points to 26.63.
Aquaman14
Aquaman14 will find it tough to complain about lack of opportunity this past week. As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR and one TE) combined to get a grand total of 33 targets in Week 16. Those players might need to hit the practice field, considering they tallied only 19 catches.
