Coach Talk

Jeff Beetle
Well, we do admire the confidence this past week, Jeff Beetle. It's a bold move to deploy a player with zero points (Matt LaCosse), while still earning the win. All we ask is to please limit those flashy shenanigans to the regular season. Try it when the playoffs roll around, and we're finished.
I WIN!!!
Unless I WIN!!! wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not getting enough looks" is definitely not a viable excuse this time around. As a group, our six pass-catchers (five WR and one TE) were targeted a respectable 37 times in Week 13. Those players might need to get some extra reps with the JUGS machine, considering they recorded just 21 catches.
