Coach Talk

Bama Blue
You know what, Bama Blue, we do admire the confidence. Deploying a starter with zero points (Aaron Jones), while still earning the W... that's a bit too risky for us traditionalists. Try that type of flashy, show-off stuff next week and we'll be toast.
The View From Above
Hey, The View From Above, did your receiving crew talk bad about their quarterbacks or something? Seeing just 11 total targets in Week 15, our three starting pass-catchers (two WR, one TE) clearly need to get the attention of their respective signal-callers this week in practice.
