Coach Talk

Steel Reign
Well, we do respect the confidence this past week, Steel Reign. Starting a player with zero points (Tim Patrick), while still earning the W... that's playing with fire. Try that type of flashy, show-off stuff next week against Brewmasters and see what happens.
SAWTOOTHS
Well, we can't really whine about a lack of opportunities this week, can we? As a group, our six pass-catchers (five WR, one TE) collectively got a respectable 44 targets in Week 12. Chemistry could be a problem, as that group managed only 22 catches.
