Coach Talk

Reaper
Getting the win is most important, Reaper, but we've also identified one spot where we should improve as a team. Our starting QBs were clearly outclassed this past week. Our two men under center combined for just 9.24 points in Week 14, while the QBs for james's Grand Team showed us up by recording a score of 50.5. Let's put some more effort into studying those playbooks!
james's Grand Team
james's Grand Team may find it tough to complain about lack of opportunities this past week. As a group, our pass-catching corps (five WR, two TE) were targeted a healthy 32 times in Week 14. With only 19 total receptions, this group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
