Coach Talk

219 219 Hut Hut Vike
Deploying a starting crew that recorded more than 132 points this past week... we consider that to be a job well done.
Apex Predator
"Not seeing many looks" really isn't an excuse this week for Apex Predator. Our trio of pass-catchers (two WR, one TE) collectively saw a grand total of 20 targets in Week 15. With just nine total receptions, that group may have some chemistry issues.
