Coach Talk

Adam's Team
You know Adam's Team, I'm a glass-half-full kind of coach. While others may harp on the fact that our scoring's decreased a bit recently, I'll choose to take the high road. Averaging 93.98 points through Week 13, our crew has obviously proven that it's even stronger than the 76.74 we needed to win this past week!
Catch 22
Wow, talk about old-school ground n' pound: The starting backfield for Catch 22 collectively recorded a pair of catches on only three measly targets this past week. Get those offensive coordinators to dial up a screen play or two in Week 15!
