Coach Talk

Ryan's Rad Team
Hey now, talk about backing up that squad nickname! With 85.6 points scored this past week, the manager of Ryan's Rad Team deployed a starting roster that indeed, very rad.
Cody's Choice Team
Unless Cody's Choice Team wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not getting enough chances" cannot be a viable excuse this week. As a group, our pass-catching corps (two WR and one TE) collectively got a grand total of 20 targets in Week 16. Chemistry seems to be the primary problem, as that group reeled in just eight catches.
