Coach Talk

Wolf of Wall Street
Putting together a starting crew that won by more than 49 points this past week... we consider that to be a job well done.
The Dirty Hippies
Unless The Dirty Hippies wants to go full diva-mode, then "not seeing many chances" doesn't fly as an excuse this time around. Our pass-catching corps (four WR and one TE) combined to see a grand total of 32 targets in Week 15. Timing and chemistry seem to be issues as that group reeled in only 18 balls.
