Coach Talk

Mudbugz
Props to you, Mudbugz. Good work deploying a starting crew that won by almost 82 points this past week. We should maintain this momentum as we move on to our Week 15 matchup.
Jason's Team
"Not getting many looks" is definitely not a reasonable excuse this week for Jason's Team. As a group, our pass-catching corps (two WR and one TE) were targeted a grand total of 14 times in Week 14. With only four total catches, that group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
