Coach Talk

We Dem Boys!
Kudos to you, We Dem Boys!. Nice work fielding a lineup that blew the competition out by almost 43 points this past matchup.
Colt’s Not So Official Team
Unless Colt’s Not So Official Team wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not seeing enough chances" can't be an excuse this time around. As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR, one TE) combined to see a healthy 19 targets in Week 16. With just 11 total catches, this group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
