Coach Talk

MutaiSR
Hey, we admire the confidence, MutaiSR. It's a bold move to deploy a starter with zero points (Kerryon Johnson), while still earning a W. Try that type of flashy, show-off stuff next week and we're sure to be toast!
JustinG
JustinG will find it tough to complain about lack of opportunity this past week. As a group, our three wide receivers were targeted a grand total of 23 times in Week 14. Chemistry seems to be an issue, as that group recorded only 14 receptions.
