Coach Talk

Redlegs
Nice work assembling a starting crew that won by nearly 52 points this past week. We consider that to be a job done right.
SAWTOOTHS
"Not getting enough chances" really isn't an excuse this week for SAWTOOTHS. As a group, our five pass-catchers (three WR and two TE) were targeted a hearty 32 times in Week 14. With only 19 total catches, this group may have some chemistry issues.
