Coach Talk

LBJ GOAT
You know LBJ GOAT, we're "glass half full" kind of coaches. While others may harp on the fact that our scoring output has slipped lately, we'll choose to take the high road. Averaging 109.59 points through Week 12, our crew has shown it's more than capable of outperforming the 99.4 we needed for this past week's win!
AA Ron Balakay
"Not seeing enough opportunities" won't cut it as an excuse this week for AA Ron Balakay. As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) were targeted a hearty 19 times in Week 13. Those players should try to get some extra practice reps in with their QBs, considering they reeled in only 11 balls.
