Coach Talk

TDL_JXGXX
You know what, TDL_JXGXX, we do certainly respect the confidence. It's a bold move to deploy, not one, but TWO starters with zero points (Tre'Quan Smith and Jonnu Smith), while still getting the W. We just ask you to please keep that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the regular season. Can you imagine how silly we'd look if we let it happen in the playoffs?
LLsay
LLsay will find it tough to complain about lack of opportunities this past week. Our pass-catching corps (three WR and one TE) collectively got a hearty 30 targets in Week 14. With just 18 total catches, this group may have some chemistry issues.
