Coach Talk

Tools On Stools
Listen Tools On Stools, we're glass-half-full kind of coaches. While others may harp on the fact that our scoring's decreased a bit lately, we'll choose to take the high road. Averaging 94.52 points through Week 12, our crew has shown it's more than capable of outperforming the 83.05 we needed for this past week's win!
HUNGRY DOG
Well, we can't really complain about a lack of opportunities this week, can we? As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR and one TE) were targeted a grand total of 19 times in Week 13. With only 11 total receptions, that group may have some chemistry issues.
