Coach Talk

The Legion of Zoom
You know The Legion of Zoom, I'm a "glass half full" kind of coach. While others may harp on the fact that our scoring output has slipped recently, I'll choose to spin this in a positive direction. Averaging 102.02 points through Week 13, our crew has shown it's certainly capable of outproducing the 80.48 we needed for this past week's win!
The Lollipop Guild
Unless The Lollipop Guild wants to go full diva-mode, then "not getting many looks" doesn't fly as an excuse this time around. Our four pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) collectively saw a healthy 19 targets in Week 14. Timing and chemistry appear to be issues as that group recorded only 11 catches.
