Coach Talk

AZTECS
You know AZTECS, I'm a "glass half full" kind of coach. While some may harp on the fact that our scoring's slipped lately, I'll choose to spin this in a positive direction. Averaging 119.21 points through Week 11, our crew has shown it's more than capable of outproducing the 105.02 we needed to win this past week!
Kentucky Zombie
Unless Kentucky Zombie wants to go full diva-mode, then "not getting enough chances" is not a valid excuse this week. As a group, our trio of pass-catchers (two WR and one TE) collectively saw a grand total of 17 targets in Week 12. Timing and chemistry seem to be issues as that group pulled down just 10 balls.
