Coach Talk

Cardiff Giants
Props to you, Cardiff Giants. Nice job deploying a starting crew that won by almost 15 points this past matchup. We'll maintain this momentum as we move on to our Week 14 matchup.
Bass-O-matic '76
"Not getting many chances" really isn't an excuse this week for Bass-O-matic '76. As a group, our pass-catching corps (two WR and one TE) collectively got a healthy 20 targets in Week 13. With just 11 total catches, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
