Coach Talk

King Cobras
Props on deploying a starting crew that won by 37 points this past week. We took care of business and did what we had to do.
THE CIRCLE
Welp, we can't really complain about a shortage of opportunities this week, can we? As a group, our pass-catching corps (two WR and one TE) were targeted a grand total of 26 times in Week 15. With just 16 total catches, that group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
