Coach Talk

The Dogs of War
Nice work this past week, The Dogs of War! Let's give thanks for this bountiful victory, and now focus our attention towards a stiff challenge in Hard Targets.
Whackers
"Not seeing enough looks" isn't a reasonable excuse this week for Whackers. As a group, our six pass-catchers (four WR, two TE) collectively got a whopping 42 targets in Week 11. Those players might need to hit the practice field, considering they reeled in just 23 catches.
