Coach Talk

Ben’s Squad
Nice work assembling a lineup that won by an impressive 24 points this past week. We consider that to be a job done right.
Kel-C u in the finals
Kel-C u in the finals will find it tough to complain about lack of opportunities this past week. Our pass-catching corps (six WR, one TE) were targeted a grand total of 44 times in Week 15. With just 25 total receptions, this group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
