Coach Talk

Reaper
Whoa, Reaper, you really made a statement to the rest of the league with this performance. Not only did you win by 79+ points, you also climbed two spots in the league standings!
Ragin’ Cajuns
Ragin’ Cajuns will find it tough to complain about lack of opportunity this past week. As a group, our five pass-catchers (four WR, one TE) collectively saw a grand total of 31 targets in Week 12. Timing and chemistry seem to be issues as that group tallied just 19 receptions.
