Coach Talk

钢棍谢师傅
You know 钢棍谢师傅, I'm a glass-half-full kind of coach. While some may harp on the fact that our scoring output has declined a bit recently, I'll choose to take the optimistic route. Averaging 93.38 points through Week 13, our crew has shown it's certainly capable of outperforming the 73.5 we needed for this past week's win!
神出鬼没小涛涛
Unless 神出鬼没小涛涛 wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not seeing many opportunities" can't be an excuse this time around. As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR, one TE) combined to get a whopping 36 targets in Week 14. Those players might need to get some extra reps with the JUGS machine, considering they hauled in only 22 catches.
