Coach Talk

Freakazoids
Assembling a lineup that won by almost 72 points this past week... we took care of business and did what had to be done.
3 KiDs
3 KiDs may find it tough to gripe about lack of opportunities this past week. Our four pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) collectively received a whopping 19 targets in Week 17. Chemistry appears to be the primary problem, as that group pulled down only nine balls.
