Coach Talk

Apollo
Deploying a lineup that won by more than 16 points this past week... we deem that to be a job done right. Let's keep this momentum as we move on to our next matchup in Week 13.
BALLSWIN
Unless BALLSWIN wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not seeing many chances" is not an excuse this time around. As a group, our pass-catching corps (four WR, one TE) collectively received a grand total of 26 targets in Week 12. Timing and chemistry appear to be issues as that group pulled down just 14 balls.
