Coach Talk

Sinister Sloths
Well done, Sinister Sloths. Good work deploying a team that earned 221 points this past week.
Bama Blue
Bama Blue may find it tough to complain about lack of opportunities this past week. As a group, our trio of pass-catchers (two WR and one TE) were targeted a healthy 23 times in Week 16. Those players might need to hit the practice field, considering they pulled down just 11 receptions.
