Coach Talk

Finkle & Einhorn
Assembling a lineup that accounted for 130.52 points this past week... we took care of business and did what we had to do. Let's keep this momentum going as we roll into our Week 17 matchup.
Strait Outta Bounds
Unless Strait Outta Bounds wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not seeing enough looks" isn't really an excuse this time around. As a group, our pass-catching corps (two WR, one TE) collectively got a grand total of 20 targets in Week 16. Those players might need to spend more time with the JUGS machine, considering they recorded only seven catches.
