Coach Talk

FAT ZEKE
Listen FAT ZEKE, I'm a "glass half full" kind of coach. While others may harp on the fact that our scoring's declined a bit recently, I'll choose to spin this in a positive direction. Averaging 102.03 points through Week 11, our crew has obviously proven that it's even better than the 76.72 we needed for this past week's win!
The Moan Zone
Unless The Moan Zone wants to go full diva-mode, then "not getting enough chances" doesn't fly as an excuse this week. Our pass-catching corps (three WR and one TE) collectively got a grand total of 27 targets in Week 12. Chemistry and timing appear to be issues as that group hauled in only 15 receptions.
