Coach Talk

Gritz Blitz
Nice work deploying a starting crew that accounted for 107 points this past week. We took care of business and did what had to be done.
Flyhawks
Unless Flyhawks wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not seeing many opportunities" can't be an excuse this time around. As a group, our pass-catching corps (two WR, one TE) were targeted a grand total of 18 times in Week 17. With only 11 total catches, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
