Coach Talk

bladen's Unreal Team
Good work assembling a starting crew that recorded more than 30 points this past week. We consider that to be a job done right. Let's maintain this momentum as we step into our next challenge in Week 15.
Saul Elizarraras
Well, we certainly can't whine about a lack of opportunities this week, can we? As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) collectively got a grand total of 24 targets in Week 14. Chemistry seems to be an issue, as that group managed just 14 catches.
