Coach Talk

Cruisaders
Sure, we ultimately got the win, but there's really no other way to put it, Cruisaders: our wide receivers were severely overmatched by the opposition. Buoyed by a Darius Slayton goose-egg and Tyler Boyd (15 yards, no TDs), our five WRs combined for just 32 points in Week 12. The starting wideouts for Zimmreapers tripled us up with a score of 105. Let's put some more effort into studying those playbooks!
Zimmreapers
Welp, we can't really whine about a shortage of opportunities this time, can we? As a group, our pass-catching corps (five WR and one TE) were targeted a whopping 56 times in Week 12. With just 32 total receptions, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
