Coach Talk

Hangovers
Listen, Hangovers, we certainly appreciate the confidence. Rolling out a starter with negative points (the Tennessee Titans defense) while still earning the win... talk about arrogance. All we ask is to please limit those shenanigans to the regular season. Try it in the playoffs and we're toast.
Roughnecks
Roughnecks will find it tough to gripe about lack of opportunities this past week. Our five pass-catchers (four WR, one TE) were targeted a grand total of 36 times in Week 11. Those players might need to get some extra reps with the JUGS machine, considering they recorded just 20 receptions.
