Coach Talk

Standing4Flag
Well done, Standing4Flag. Assembling a starting crew that registered 110.5 points this past week... let's maintain this momentum as we roll into our next challenge in Week 14.
Gritz Blitz
Unless Gritz Blitz wants to go full diva-mode, then "not getting enough chances" isn't really a valid excuse this week. Our two wide receivers collectively received a grand total of 16 targets in Week 13. Chemistry and timing appear to be issues as that group reeled in only seven receptions.
