Coach Talk

Pack Rats
Listen, Pack Rats, we do certainly respect the confidence. It takes moxie to play, not one, but TWO starters with zero points (Jonnu Smith and Doug Baldwin), while still getting the win. Try those shenanigans next week and see what happens!
Leave It To Beckham
Unless Leave It To Beckham wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not getting enough opportunities" can't be a valid excuse this week. As a group, our five pass-catchers (four WR, one TE) collectively got a grand total of 43 targets in Week 14. With just 23 total receptions, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
