Coach Talk

The Minor Prophets
Nice work this past week, The Minor Prophets! Let's give thanks for this bountiful victory, and now redirect our attention towards a stiff challenge in Ben's Besties.
Kirk's cousin
Unless Kirk's cousin wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not seeing many chances" doesn't fly as an excuse this week. Our trio of pass-catchers (two WR, one TE) were targeted a respectable 14 times in Week 12. With only eight total receptions, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
