Coach Talk

Caribbean Bombers
Putting together a lineup that accounted for 133 points this past week... we did what we needed to do and took care of business.
Cowboy Chip
Well, we certainly can't complain about a shortage of opportunities this time, can we? As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) combined to get a grand total of 30 targets in Week 16. Chemistry and timing seem to be issues as that group hauled in just 18 balls.
