Coach Talk

Garrett's Great Team
Quick, Garrett's Great Team, whip out the calculator... what's the result when you multiply five times zero? A pretty lucky win against james's Grand Team, if you ask me! Starting five players who didn't get any points this past week - how did we get this victory?
james's Grand Team
Well, we certainly can't gripe about a shortage of opportunities this week, can we? Our pass-catching corps (five WR, two TE) were targeted a hearty 57 times in Week 13. Chemistry could be an issue, as that group reeled in just 33 catches.
