Coach Talk

Woffnburg Gutterpunk
Putting together a lineup that recorded 729.61 points this past week... we deem that to be a job done right.
Tardy Perch
"Not getting enough chances" shouldn't really be an excuse this week for Tardy Perch. As a group, our six pass-catchers (five WR and one TE) were targeted a grand total of 47 times in Week 16. Chemistry and timing seem to be issues as that group hauled in only 26 balls.
