Coach Talk

Beef and Barkley
Listen Beef and Barkley, I'm a "glass half full" kind of coach. While some may harp on the fact that our scoring's decreased a bit recently, I'll choose to spin this in a positive direction. Averaging 128.64 points through Week 11, our crew has obviously proven that it's even better than the 101.92 we needed for this past week's win!
Herbert's Cook-n
Well, we certainly can't complain about a shortage of opportunities this time, can we? As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR and one TE) collectively saw a grand total of 17 targets in Week 12. With only 10 total catches, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
