Coach Talk

El Tigre
You know El Tigre, we're glass-half-full kind of coaches. While some may harp on the fact that our scoring output has slipped recently, we'll choose to spin this in a positive direction. Averaging 417.18 points through Week 14, our crew has certainly proven that it's even stronger than the 394.57 we needed to win this past week!
Pops's Beerpounders
"Not getting enough looks" shouldn't really be an excuse this week for Pops's Beerpounders. As a group, our five pass-catchers (four WR and one TE) were targeted a grand total of 29 times in Week 15. With only 17 total receptions, that group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
