Coach Talk

The Great CornJulio
You know The Great CornJulio, we're "glass half full" kind of coaches. While some may harp on the fact that our scoring's declined a bit lately, we'll choose to take the optimistic route. Averaging 99.65 points through Week 14, our crew has shown it's more than capable of outproducing the 69.16 we needed for this past week's win!
Victorious Secret
Unless Victorious Secret wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not seeing enough opportunities" won't cut it as an excuse this time around. Our pass-catching corps (two WR and one TE) combined to get a hearty 17 targets in Week 15. With just seven total receptions, this group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
