Coach Talk

Deeznutz2u
These types of tight wins can be unbelievably important for the locker room. Overcoming tough obstacles and persevering in the face of adversity... we expect the Deeznutz2u team chemistry to be sky-high heading into Week 12.
Phelony's Team
"Not getting enough chances" isn't an excuse this week for Phelony's Team. Our trio of pass-catchers (two WR and one TE) were targeted a grand total of 25 times in Week 11. Chemistry could be the primary issue, as that group reeled in just 14 catches.
