Coach Talk

Derek's Team

Jamaal About Bass
Unless Jamaal About Bass wants to go full diva-mode, then "not getting many opportunities" isn't really an excuse this time around. As a group, our pass-catching corps (four WR, one TE) collectively got a grand total of 33 targets in Week 16. With just 17 total catches, that group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
