Cebu Tigers
Nice job assembling a starting crew that produced more than 117 points this past week. We did what we needed to do and took care of business.
J JAMS
So, J JAMS, what did your receiving crew do to get written out of their teams' game plans this week? With only 12 total targets this past week, our three starting pass-catchers (two WR, one TE) obviously need to get on their QBs' good sides this week in practice.
