Coach Talk

Vaping with JUULio
Nice job, Vaping with JUULio. Assembling a starting crew that recorded over 165 points this past week.
Darn Old Toenail...
Unless Darn Old Toenail... wants to go full diva-mode, then "not getting enough opportunities" doesn't fly as an excuse this time around. Our trio of pass-catchers (two WR and one TE) were targeted a hearty 17 times in Week 15. With only 10 total catches, this group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
