Coach Talk

Massage Therapy
Earning the win is most important, Massage Therapy, but we certainly know of one spot where we should get stronger as a team. Our starting wide receivers were significantly overmatched this past week. Buoyed by a Julio Jones goose-egg and A.J. Green (64 yards, no TDs), our three WRs combined for only 7.1 points in Week 15. The starting wideouts for Dr!p doubled us up with a score of 16.7.
Dr!p
Recording just three targets this past week, it appears that the starting running backs for Dr!p should look into why their quarterbacks are giving them the silent treatment.
