Coach Talk

Ruff Duffs
Assembling a lineup that produced more than 132 points this past week... we consider that to be a job well done.
Big Tig's Boss Team
"Not seeing many looks" can't be an excuse this week for Big Tig's Boss Team. As a group, our trio of pass-catchers (two WR, one TE) combined to get a whopping 18 targets in Week 15. With only 10 total receptions, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
