Coach Talk

Little Pine

Sada's Gardeners
Unless Sada's Gardeners wants to go full diva-mode, then "not getting many looks" isn't really an excuse this week. Our pass-catching corps (three WR and one TE) combined to receive a respectable 26 targets in Week 15. Chemistry seems to be an issue, as that group pulled down just 15 balls.
