Coach Talk

Run CMC
Kudos on assembling a lineup that won by a whopping 51.66 points this past week. We took care of business and did what had to be done.
Oregon Reing
"Not seeing enough looks" really isn't an excuse this week for Oregon Reing. As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) combined to receive a grand total of 17 targets in Week 15. With just eight total catches, this group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
