Coach Talk

Shannons Cannons
Good work, Shannons Cannons. Bravo on assembling a lineup that won by over 14 points in Week 15.
Dirt Devils
Unless Dirt Devils wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not getting many opportunities" doesn't fly as an excuse this time around. Our pass-catching corps (three WR, one TE) collectively got a grand total of 28 targets in Week 15. Those players might need to get some extra reps with the JUGS machine, considering they reeled in just 16 receptions.
