Coach Talk

The Texas Headhunter
Assembling a starting crew that produced 118.48 points this past week... we took care of business and did what we had to do.
ChickenChuckNuggets
Well, we certainly can't whine about a lack of opportunities this week, can we? As a group, our pass-catching corps (two WR and one TE) collectively saw a hearty 15 targets in Week 15. With only six total receptions, this group may have some chemistry issues.
