Coach Talk

Kingslayers
Nice work assembling a starting crew that won by more than 48 points this past week. We consider that to be a job done right.
Jackie Treehorn Crew
Unless Jackie Treehorn Crew wants to go full diva-mode, then "not seeing enough chances" is not a valid excuse this time around. As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR and one TE) combined to receive a healthy 17 targets in Week 16. Timing and chemistry appear to be issues as that group pulled down just 10 catches.
