Coach Talk

HUNGRY DOG
You know HUNGRY DOG, I'm a "glass half full" kind of coach. While others may harp on the fact that our scoring's declined a bit lately, I'll choose to take the high road. Averaging 107.76 points through Week 11, our crew has obviously proven that it's even stronger than the 97.79 we needed for this past week's win!
Very inTimidating
Unless Very inTimidating wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not seeing many chances" is not an excuse this week. As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) were targeted a grand total of 33 times in Week 12. With just 17 total receptions, this group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
