Coach Talk

The Big Trubisky
Hey, it's good to be confident, The Big Trubisky. It's a bold move to roll out a player with zero points (Vance McDonald), while still earning the W.
Baboons
"Not seeing enough opportunities" shouldn't really be an excuse this week for Baboons. As a group, our seven pass-catchers (six WR and one TE) combined to see a grand total of 42 targets in Week 15. Those players might need to spend more time with the JUGS machine, considering they tallied only 21 catches.
