Coach Talk

Gfed Jets
Hey, creating mismatches is the key to football, right? Not only did we double up Legion of Doom at RB (33.4 points to 13.5), we also thoroughly dominated them at WR (32.7 to 8.8).
Legion of Doom
"Not getting many looks" shouldn't really be an excuse this week for Legion of Doom. As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR, one TE) were targeted a whopping 24 times in Week 12. Chemistry could be an issue, as that group recorded only eight receptions.
