Coach Talk

DeKaylin Zecharius
Kudos on deploying a lineup that registered almost 95 points this past week. We deem that to be a job done right.
XFL 2.0 (Matt)
XFL 2.0 (Matt) may find it tough to complain about lack of opportunities this past week. Our pass-catching corps (three WR and one TE) were targeted a grand total of 26 times in Week 15. Timing and chemistry appear to be issues as that group pulled down just 15 balls.
