Coach Talk

The Stinkin Genius's Swag Team
Deploying a lineup that won by more than 10 points this past week... we deem that to be a job done right. Let's keep this momentum going as we roll into our Week 16 matchup.
Leatherheads
Welp, we can't really whine about a lack of opportunities this week, can we? Our pass-catching corps (three WR, one TE) collectively got a grand total of 26 targets in Week 15. Those players might need to spend more time with the JUGS machine, considering they notched only 16 catches.
