Coach Talk

Round Rock Kitty
You know Round Rock Kitty, we're "glass half full" kind of coaches. While some may harp on the fact that our scoring output has slipped recently, we'll choose to spin this in a positive direction. Averaging 309.71 points through Week 12, our crew has certainly proven that it's even stronger than the 217.9 we needed to win this past week!
Grapevine Gunslinger
Our quarterback tossed an interception and no touchdowns? I suppose we've stumbled upon a fork in the road here: Were the Buccaneers genuinely that strong against the pass, or was Nick Foles just that off-rhythm with his receivers? The judgment is yours to cast... Grapevine Gunslinger, as you deploy your lineup in Week 14 and beyond!
