Coach Talk

Hitters
Listen Hitters, we're "glass half full" kind of coaches. While some may harp on the fact that our scoring's declined a bit lately, we'll choose to spin this in a positive direction. Averaging 117.66 points through Week 14, our crew has shown it's more than capable of outperforming the 62.68 we needed for this past week's win!
Team Scooter
Unless Team Scooter wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not seeing many opportunities" won't cut it as an excuse this time around. As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR, one TE) collectively got a respectable 24 targets in Week 15. With just 13 total receptions, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
