Coach Talk

Van Buren Boys
Good work deploying a lineup that won by over 37 points this past week. We deem that to be a job well done.
Table Smash
Well, we certainly can't whine about a lack of opportunities this time, can we? As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR and one TE) were targeted a grand total of 23 times in Week 16. With just 14 total catches, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
