Coach Talk

Wake Up Nagy
Sure, we ultimately got the win, but there's not really any way sugarcoat it, Wake Up Nagy... our QB was utterly overmatched by the opposition. Kirk Cousins went 14-of-21 for 215 yards and two touchdowns for The Expendables, and all Marcus Mariota could manage through the air was 88 passing yards. We need to bounce back with a big statement in Week 16!
The Expendables
Wow, talk about old-school ground n' pound. As a group, the starting backfield for The Expendables collectively logged three receptions on just four targets this past week. Tell those quarterbacks to check down a little more often in Week 16!
