Coach Talk

The Punisher
Bravo, The Punisher. Fielding a starting crew that tallied over 159 points this past matchup.
Xalt's Zappers
Unless Xalt's Zappers wants to go full diva-mode, then "not getting many chances" doesn't fly as an excuse this time around. As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR, one TE) were targeted a respectable 29 times in Week 15. Chemistry seems to be the primary issue, as that group reeled in only 17 catches.
