Coach Talk

Zack's Unnamed Team
Well done, Zack's Unnamed Team. Nice work deploying a starting crew that nearly recorded 120 points this past matchup.
Magic Skol Bus
Well, we can't really gripe about a shortage of opportunities this week, can we? As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR, one TE) combined to see a grand total of 27 targets in Week 16. Timing and chemistry seem to be issues as that group hauled in just seven catches.
