Coach Talk

Kaeptain America
Nice work assembling a lineup that won by a staggering 28 points this past week. We consider that to be a job done right. We should tip our cap to the GM of The Wicker Men, take this victory in stride, and continue our march towards the Valley Football YEAR 14 league championship.
The Wicker Men
Unless The Wicker Men wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not getting enough chances" doesn't fly as an excuse this time around. Our pass-catching corps (three WR and one TE) collectively saw a respectable 29 targets in Week 14. Timing and chemistry appear to be issues as that group reeled in only 17 receptions.
