Coach Talk

GREEN LEGION
Good work deploying a lineup that won by over 80 points this past week. We consider that to be a job well done.
Goldfinger Slingers
Goldfinger Slingers will find it tough to gripe about lack of opportunities this past week. Our pass-catching corps (three WR and one TE) were targeted a respectable 33 times in Week 16. Those players might need to get some extra reps with the JUGS machine, considering they pulled down just 16 receptions.
