Coach Talk

Ripsnorters
Listen Ripsnorters, we're glass-half-full kind of coaches. While some may harp on the fact that our scoring output has slipped lately, we'll choose to spin this in a positive direction. Averaging 115.11 points through Week 14, our crew has shown it's certainly capable of outperforming the 101.52 we needed for this past week's win!
Captain Hindsight
Ugh, talk about under-utilized. The starting backfield for Captain Hindsight collectively registered one reception on just two targets this past week. Tell those offensive coordinators to draw up some screen plays in Week 16!
