Coach Talk

再见三振
Football is all about creating mismatches. Fueled by stellar performances by Julio Jones and Julian Edelman, our squad really took that to heart this past week. We quadrupled Tankland at wide receiver (37.2 points to 8.8). Jones had 106 receiving yards and two TDs while Edelman logged 86 yards.
Tankland
"Not getting many opportunities" won't cut it as an excuse this week for Tankland. Our trio of pass-catchers (two WR, one TE) were targeted a grand total of 17 times in Week 14. With just 10 total catches, this group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
