Coach Talk

GRIDIRON GOOCH ATTAC
Hey, we'll definitely take the win, GRIDIRON GOOCH ATTAC! Having said that, if we want to ramp our performance up to the next level, then we have found an area to improve. Our wide receivers were significantly outclassed this past week. Brandon Aiyuk (91 total yards, no TDs) logged only 23 points in Week 12. The starting wideouts for Satan's Soldiers doubled us up with a score of 46. Let's bug the offensive coordinator to get some more targets in Week 13!
Satan's Soldiers
Unless Satan's Soldiers wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not getting many chances" can't be an excuse this week. As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR and one TE) collectively got a grand total of 31 targets in Week 12. Those players might need to get some extra reps with the JUGS machine, considering they hauled in just 19 balls.
