Coach Talk

Redzone 2 Da Endzone
Nice job, Redzone 2 Da Endzone. Bravo on deploying a team that won by nearly 27 points this past week.
Cavemen
"Not getting many opportunities" won't be an excuse this week for Cavemen. Our pass-catching corps (four WR, one TE) were targeted a healthy 26 times in Week 15. Those players should spend extra practice time working with their QBs, considering they tallied just 14 receptions.
