Coach Talk

Whipping Boy
Talk about righting the ship! The GM of Whipping Boy shrugged off their three-game losing skid by putting up a staggering 197.64 points this past week.
WhiteBoy
Unless WhiteBoy wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not getting enough looks" is not an excuse this time around. Our four pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) combined to receive a hearty 30 targets in Week 4. Timing and chemistry appear to be issues as that group managed just 14 receptions.
