Coach Talk

Manglers
You know what, Manglers, we do admire the confidence. It takes a certain sort of moxie to deploy a player with zero points (Terrell Suggs), while still getting the win. Try that type of flashy, show-off stuff next week and we're sure to be toast!
SMOKINHIPPYKILLERS
Welp, we can't really whine about a lack of opportunities this time, can we? As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR and one TE) combined to receive a healthy 32 targets in Week 15. With only 19 total catches, this group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
