Coach Talk

Noodles
Good work deploying a lineup that won by 40.7 points this past week. We consider that to be a job well done.
ReEL'm iN
Welp, we can't really whine about a shortage of opportunities this week, can we? As a group, our pass-catching corps (four WR, one TE) collectively got a respectable 36 targets in Week 14. Those players should spend extra practice time working with their QBs, considering they reeled in only 22 catches.
