Coach Talk

Double Tap Kap
Deploying a starting crew that registered 228 points this past week... we consider that to be a job well done.
Square357
Unless Square357 wants to go full diva-mode, then "not getting enough opportunities" isn't really a valid excuse this time around. Our pass-catching corps (two WR and one TE) combined to see a grand total of 24 targets in Week 15. With only 13 total catches, that group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
