Coach Talk

The Hair Diapers
Solid work this past matchup, The Hair Diapers! We'll give thanks for this bountiful victory, and now shift our attention towards a tough challenge in Sacks in the City.
DC Defenders
"Not seeing enough looks" shouldn't really be an excuse this week for DC Defenders. As a group, our pass-catching corps (two WR and two TE) combined to see a grand total of 18 targets in Week 11. Chemistry seems to be an issue, as that group tallied only nine catches.
