Coach Talk

The Hawks
Props on assembling a starting crew that won by nearly 53 points this past week. We deem that to be a job well done.
Chubba Choo Choo
Unless Chubba Choo Choo wants to go full diva-mode, then "not seeing many chances" doesn't fly as an excuse this time around. Our four pass-catchers (three WR and one TE) combined to get a hearty 31 targets in Week 15. With only 19 total catches, this group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
