Coach Talk

Dead Again
Nice work, Dead Again. Bravo on fielding a lineup that won by almost 15 points this past week.
Roughnecks
Roughnecks may find it tough to complain about lack of opportunity this past week. Our five pass-catchers (four WR and one TE) were targeted a grand total of 30 times in Week 15. With just 14 total receptions, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
