Coach Talk

The Dirty Hippies
You know The Dirty Hippies, I'm a "glass half full" kind of coach. While some may harp on the fact that our scoring output has declined a bit recently, I'll choose to take the high road. Averaging 163.18 points through Week 11, our crew has shown it's certainly capable of outperforming the 113.5 we needed to win this past week!
American Hustle
Unless American Hustle wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not getting many chances" doesn't fly as an excuse this time around. Our five pass-catchers (four WR, one TE) collectively saw a grand total of 29 targets in Week 12. Chemistry could be a problem, as that group pulled down just 16 receptions.
