Coach Talk

Miller Time
Listen Miller Time, we're glass-half-full kind of coaches. While others may harp on the fact that our scoring output has slipped recently, we'll choose to take the high road. Averaging 96.66 points through Week 12, our crew has certainly proven that it's even stronger than the 89.75 we needed to win this past week!
Marino's Mafia
Unless Marino's Mafia wants to go full diva-mode, then "not getting enough chances" doesn't fly as an excuse this time around. As a group, our pass-catching corps (four WR, one TE) were targeted a healthy 30 times in Week 13. Those players should participate in some additional timing drills with their QBs, considering they recorded only 18 receptions.
