Coach Talk

MeedoggKidstone
Well, we do admire the confidence this past week, MeedoggKidstone. Deploying a player with zero points (Tre'Davious White), while still getting the W... talk about arrogant.
Suave's Squad
Suave's Squad may find it tough to complain about lack of opportunity this past week. As a group, our seven pass-catchers (six WR, one TE) collectively received a grand total of 54 targets in Week 16. With just 30 total catches, this group may have some chemistry issues.
