Coach Talk

Double Tap Kap
This sport is all about creating mismatches. Our team found one this past week and doubled up Crown My Ass at the quarterback position (72 points to 31).
Crown My Ass
Unless Crown My Ass wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not seeing many looks" won't cut it as an excuse this week. Our trio of pass-catchers (two WR and one TE) collectively received a grand total of 29 targets in Week 12. Timing and chemistry seem to be issues as that group hauled in only 17 balls.
