Coach Talk

Don Kiedic
Hey, we'll definitely take the win, Don Kiedic! Having said that, if we want to take our performance to the next level, then here's one area where we can improve. Our starting quarterback was utterly outmatched this past week. Our one signal-callers combined for just 12.58 points in Week 15, and the QBs for Cookie Monster doubled us up with a score of 30.64.
Cookie Monster
Unless Cookie Monster wants to go full diva-mode, then "not seeing many chances" can't be an excuse this time around. As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR and one TE) collectively got a hearty 37 targets in Week 15. Chemistry and timing seem to be issues as that group recorded only 21 receptions.
