Coach Talk

I Heart Chiavettas
Hey, we admire the confidence, I Heart Chiavettas. It's a bold move to start a player with zero points (Aldrick Rosas), while still getting a win. Try that type of flashy, show-off stuff next week and see what happens.
Gridiron Gladiators
Unless Gridiron Gladiators wants to go full diva-mode, then "not seeing enough chances" is not a viable excuse this time around. Our three wide receivers collectively got a healthy 23 targets in Week 15. With only 12 total catches, this group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
