Coach Talk

NY Giants /Big Blue
Bravo on assembling a starting crew that produced nearly 427 points this past week. We consider that to be a job done right.
Pops's Beerpounders
Well, we certainly can't whine about a shortage of opportunities this time, can we? As a group, our five pass-catchers (four WR and one TE) collectively received a respectable 28 targets in Week 15. Chemistry appears to be an issue, as that group recorded just 17 receptions.
