Coach Talk

Dead Again
Nice job, Dead Again. Fielding a team that won by almost 27 points in Week 15.
Dirty Hippies
Dirty Hippies will find it tough to complain about lack of opportunities this past week. Our pass-catching corps (three WR and one TE) collectively saw a respectable 20 targets in Week 15. Those players might need to get some extra reps with the JUGS machine, considering they notched only 10 receptions.
