Coach Talk

Studenec Strugglers
Countless hours in the film room and on the practice field. 11 guys in the huddle, all on the same page. Each and every route, every single pass, meticulously planned and flawlessly executed. The final result? A superb 25 connections on 30 attempts... good enough for a completion percentage of 83 percent for Cam Newton this past week. The Seahawks secondary didn't know what hit 'em!.
Mar Pok's Crazy Team
Unless Mar Pok's Crazy Team wants to go full diva-mode, then "not getting enough looks" is definitely not a valid excuse this time around. As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR, one TE) collectively got a grand total of 35 targets in Week 12. With only 21 total receptions, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
