Coach Talk

Elijah's Excellent Team
Hey, we do appreciate the confidence this past week, Elijah's Excellent Team. Deploying not one, but TWO starters with zero points (Dallas Goedert and Tony Pollard), while still getting the W... talk about arrogant! We just ask you to please limit those flashy shenanigans to the regular season. Try it when the postseason rolls around, and we'll be done.
Knight Walkaz
Knight Walkaz may find it tough to gripe about lack of opportunity this past week. As a group, our five pass-catchers (four WR and one TE) combined to receive a grand total of 45 targets in Week 14. With only 26 total catches, this group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
