Coach Talk

ExigentCircumstances
Countless hours in the film room. Innovative scheming from the coaching staff. Blood, sweat, and tears in training camp and on the practice field. 11 guys in the huddle, all on the same page. Every single route, every single pass, planned meticulously and executed to perfection. And the final result? A staggering 27 connections on 32 attempts... good enough for a completion percentage of 84 percent for Baker Mayfield this past week. That Giants secondary didn't stand a chance!.
Team Tadlock
There's a possibility that Team Tadlock might be a better talent scout in real football than in fantasy. Accumulating only seven total targets in Week 15, their four wide receivers apparently helped their teams' causes by blocking downfield and running decoy routes.
