Coach Talk

V for ...
Getting the win is most important, V for ..., but we also know of one spot where we should improve as a team; our wide receivers were clearly outplayed by the opposition. Robby Anderson (21 total yards, no TDs) logged just 15 points in Week 15. The starting wideouts for Tonyk 77ers doubled us up with a score of 30.
Tonyk 77ers
"Not getting many chances" shouldn't really be an excuse this week for Tonyk 77ers. As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR and one TE) were targeted a grand total of 30 times in Week 15. With only 18 total receptions, that group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
