Coach Talk

Oakland Dirty Dawgs
You know Oakland Dirty Dawgs, we're glass-half-full kind of coaches. While some may harp on the fact that our scoring output has decreased a bit lately, we'll choose to spin this in a positive direction. Averaging 167.32 points through Week 12, our crew has obviously proven that it's even better than the 149.76 we needed for this past week's win!
Hammerin Hank
"Not seeing many opportunities" really isn't an excuse this week for Hammerin Hank. As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) were targeted a healthy 21 times in Week 13. Chemistry and timing seem to be issues as that group pulled down only 13 receptions.
