Coach Talk

DatzBullShift
Assembling a lineup that won by almost 19 points this past week... we consider that to be a job done right.
keen[st]
Welp, we can't really complain about a shortage of opportunities this week, can we? As a group, our trio of pass-catchers (two WR, one TE) were targeted a hearty 18 times in Week 15. With just 10 total receptions, that group may have some chemistry issues.
