Coach Talk

Touchdown Abbey
Mission accomplished, Touchdown Abbey. Assembling a lineup that won by over 42 points this past week.
Tragically Malicious
Well, we can't really complain about a shortage of opportunities this time, can we? As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR and one TE) collectively received a grand total of 25 targets in Week 14. With just 14 total catches, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
