Coach Talk

Khristian's Team
Listen, Khristian's Team, we do certainly respect the confidence. It takes real moxie to deploy a player with zero points (Delanie Walker), while still getting the W. We just ask you to please limit that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the regular season. Do it when the playoffs roll around, and we're done.
Randall DeNeutte
Well, we certainly can't gripe about a shortage of opportunities this time, can we? As a group, our pass-catching corps (two WR and one TE) collectively saw a whopping 14 targets in Week 14. With just eight total receptions, this group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
