Coach Talk

GTK2
Yo, GTK2, have you been practicing any gymnastics lately? In addition to a nearly 54-point victory, you also spring-boarded four spots to third place in the league standings... right into the thick of postseason contention
John's Groovy Team
Well, we certainly can't complain about a shortage of opportunities this time, can we? As a group, our pass-catching corps (two WR and one TE) were targeted a grand total of 13 times in Week 9. Those players should spend extra practice time working with their QBs, considering they recorded just seven receptions.
