Coach Talk

Chieftain's Empire
We do appreciate the confidence this past week, Chieftain's Empire. Deploying a starter with zero points (Dee Eskridge), while still getting a win... talk about arrogant.
clay's Extraordinary Team
"Not seeing many chances" really isn't an excuse this week for clay's Extraordinary Team. As a group, our pass-catching corps (nine WR, two TE) collectively received a grand total of 87 targets in Week 15. With just 51 total catches, this group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
