Coach Talk

Maine Monsters
Assembling a lineup that won by more than 27 points this past week... we deem that to be a job done right.
Who Dat!!!
Unless Who Dat!!! wants to go full diva-mode, then "not getting many opportunities" is definitely not an excuse this week. Our pass-catching corps (four WR, one TE) were targeted a healthy 31 times in Week 16. Those players should spend extra practice time working with their QBs, considering they managed just 19 receptions.
