Coach Talk

Mr. Sparkle
Nice job, Mr. Sparkle. Fielding a starting crew that registered 107.78 points this past matchup.
Grounds Game Keeper
"Not getting many opportunities" shouldn't really be an excuse this week for Grounds Game Keeper. Our pass-catching corps (two WR, one TE) were targeted a grand total of 20 times in Week 15. With only 12 total receptions, this group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
