Coach Talk

VACHout
Deploying a lineup that tallied 115.67 points this past week... we did what we needed to do and took care of business.
Tamil Tigers
"Not getting enough chances" really isn't an excuse this week for Tamil Tigers. Our four pass-catchers (three WR and one TE) were targeted a whopping 31 times in Week 15. With just 18 total catches, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
