Coach Talk

ItsACatch
You know ItsACatch, we're "glass half full" kind of coaches. While some may harp on the fact that our scoring's slipped lately, we'll choose to take the optimistic route. Averaging 121 points through Week 14, our crew has shown it's certainly capable of outproducing the 108.98 we needed to win this past week!
STP2
Hey, at least there were no celebration penalties: The six offensive skill starters on STP2 (three RBs, two WRs, one TE) collectively gained a healthy 412 yards from scrimmage. Unfortunately, no one from that group could find his way to the end zone in Week 15.
