Coach Talk

Above The Rim...
Listen Above The Rim..., I'm a "glass half full" kind of coach. While some may harp on the fact that our scoring's slipped lately, I'll choose to take the optimistic route. Averaging 95.11 points through Week 13, our crew has obviously proven that it's even stronger than the 76.56 we needed for this past week's win!
VABoyz
VABoyz will find it tough to gripe about lack of opportunity this past week. As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR and one TE) collectively received a grand total of 27 targets in Week 14. Chemistry could be an issue, as that group reeled in only 14 catches.
