Coach Talk

Ready Player One
Listen, Ready Player One, we do respect the confidence. Deploying a player with zero points (David Moore), while still earning the W... talk about arrogant! All we ask is to please keep that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the regular season. Can you imagine how silly we'd look if we let it happen in the playoffs?
Debo
"Not getting many chances" shouldn't really be an excuse this week for Debo. As a group, our five pass-catchers (four WR, one TE) combined to get a respectable 30 targets in Week 13. With only 17 total catches, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
