Coach Talk

Sutton Sleepers
Innovative play design and countless hours in the film room. Blood, sweat, and tears in practice. 11 guys in the huddle, all on the same page. Each and every route, every single throw, meticulously planned and flawlessly executed. And the outcome? A staggering 29 connections on 30 attempts: good enough for a completion percentage of 97% for Drew Brees this past week. The Colts secondary didn't stand a chance!.
Beetle's Minions
Well, we certainly can't gripe about a shortage of opportunities this week, can we? As a group, our pass-catching corps (four WR and one TE) were targeted a healthy 35 times in Week 15. Chemistry could be the primary problem, as that group managed just 20 receptions.
