Coach Talk

Hard Targets
Solid work this past week, Hard Targets! We'll give thanks for this bountiful victory, and now shift our attention towards a tough challenge in Roughnecks.
Hangovers
Unless Hangovers wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not seeing enough looks" cannot be a reasonable excuse this week. As a group, our pass-catching corps (five WR, one TE) collectively saw a grand total of 44 targets in Week 12. Chemistry could be the primary issue, as that group hauled in just 26 receptions.
