Coach Talk

Welp… season over
Hey, we'll definitely take the win, Welp… season over! Having said that, if we want to take our performance to the next level, then here's one area where we can improve. Our wide receivers were clearly outclassed by the opposition. Stefon Diggs (37 yards from scrimmage, no TDs) logged just 8.42 points in Week 14. The starting wideouts for Smokin' Jays showed us up by recording a score of 21.3. Let's bug the offensive coordinator to get some more targets in Week 15!
Smokin' Jays
Smokin' Jays may find it tough to complain about lack of opportunity this past week. As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) collectively got a respectable 22 targets in Week 14. With only 11 total catches, that group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
