Coach Talk

Ghetto Elks
Listen, Ghetto Elks, we certainly appreciate the confidence. It takes a special kind of gumption to roll out a starter with negative points (plus a zero-point player) while still earning the win. Try that type of flashy, show-off stuff next week against and we'll be toast.
Longboat Key Coolies
Unless Longboat Key Coolies wants to go full diva-mode, then "not getting enough looks" isn't really a viable excuse this time around. Our pass-catching corps (four WR and one TE) collectively saw a grand total of 38 targets in Week 15. Timing and chemistry seem to be issues as that group tallied just 15 receptions.
