Coach Talk

ROCK-n-REDRAIDERS
Hey, we admire the confidence, ROCK-n-REDRAIDERS. It takes real moxie to play not one, not two, but THREE starters with zero points (Matt Bryant, T.Y. Hilton, and the Philadelphia Eagles defense), while still earning the win. Try those shenanigans next week and see what happens.
Lazy Laughing Lizard
"Not getting enough looks" isn't a viable excuse this week for Lazy Laughing Lizard. As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR and one TE) were targeted a healthy 26 times in Week 9. With only 14 total receptions, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
