Coach Talk

AA Ron Balakay
Listen, AA Ron Balakay, we do admire the confidence. Deploying a player with zero points (Adam Vinatieri), while still getting the W... talk about arrogant! All we ask is 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?
Alex Le's Team
Unless Alex Le's Team wants to go full diva-mode, then "not getting many opportunities" doesn't fly as an excuse this week. Our four pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) combined to see a grand total of 36 targets in Week 13. With just 19 total catches, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
