Coach Talk

Gunslinger
Listen Gunslinger, I'm a glass-half-full kind of coach. While others may harp on the fact that our scoring's slipped lately, I'll choose to spin this in a positive direction. Averaging 114.89 points through Week 13, our crew has shown it's more than capable of outperforming the 103.18 we needed for this past week's win!
Ashley's Nice Team
Well, we can't really whine about a lack of opportunities this week, can we? As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR and one TE) were targeted a whopping 28 times in Week 14. Those players should try to get some extra practice reps in with their QBs, considering they managed only 16 catches.
