Coach Talk

FBOMBERS
Mission accomplished, FBOMBERS. Deploying a lineup that earned 353 points this past week. We should keep this momentum going as we move on to a tricky matchup in Week 14.
Buckeye Blasters
Buckeye Blasters will find it tough to complain about lack of opportunities this past week. Our pass-catching corps (three WR, one TE) collectively got a whopping 31 targets in Week 13. Timing and chemistry appear to be issues as that group hauled in only 17 catches.
