Coach Talk

Bunky's Raw Dogs
Props to you, Bunky's Raw Dogs. Nice job assembling a starting crew that registered 171 points in Week 13. We should tip our cap to the GM of THE CIRCLE, take this victory in stride, and continue the march towards the Make_It_Do_What_It_Do league championship.
THE CIRCLE
"Not seeing many opportunities" is definitely not an excuse this week for THE CIRCLE. As a group, our pass-catching corps (two WR, one TE) were targeted a hearty 15 times in Week 13. With only nine total catches, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
