Coach Talk

Bizzle's Boys
Earning the win is most important, Bizzle's Boys, but we've also identified one spot where we should improve as a team. Our running backs were soundly outplayed this past week. Ty Johnson (42 total yards, no TDs) logged only 8 points in Week 12, and the starting backfield for TheSquirter literally quadrupled us with a score of 35.3. Let's bounce back with a big statement in Week 13!
TheSquirter
Unless TheSquirter wants to go full diva-mode, then "not seeing enough chances" is definitely not a valid excuse this week. Our four wide receivers were targeted a whopping 31 times in Week 12. Those players might need to get some extra reps with the JUGS machine, considering they reeled in just 17 catches.
