Coach Talk

Roadhouse Rebels
Nice work this past week, Roadhouse Rebels! Let's give thanks for this bountiful victory, and now redirect our attention towards a stiff challenge in BallGrabbers.
The Philly Specials
The Philly Specials will find it tough to complain about lack of opportunities this past week. As a group, our pass-catching corps (two WR, one TE) were targeted a grand total of 23 times in Week 12. Chemistry could be the primary issue, as that group managed just 11 catches.
