Coach Talk

D’Z NUTS⁉️
Mission accomplished, D’Z NUTS⁉️. Putting together a team that won by over 30 points this past week.
T-GW-05
T-GW-05 will find it tough to gripe about lack of opportunity this past week. As a group, our pass-catching corps (five WR, two TE) were targeted a grand total of 39 times in Week 16. Chemistry and timing appear to be issues as that group hauled in only 22 catches.
