Coach Talk

Shalabajzeri
We do admire the confidence this past week, Shalabajzeri. It takes real guts to play a starter with zero points (Trey Burton), while still earning the W. We just ask you to please limit that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the regular season. Do it in the postseason and we'll be done.
Maharaja Daughters
Welp, we can't really gripe about a lack of opportunities this time, can we? As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR, one TE) collectively saw a healthy 20 targets in Week 14. With only 10 total catches, this group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
