Coach Talk

Hill Be Open
Putting together a lineup that won by more than 11 points this past week... we consider that to be a job done right. Let's maintain this momentum as we move on to our next matchup in Week 15.
Capt. Kirk's Cousins
Unless Capt. Kirk's Cousins wants to go full diva-mode, then "not seeing many looks" is not a valid excuse this week. As a group, our two wide receivers were targeted a grand total of 20 times in Week 14. With only 12 total receptions, this group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
