Coach Talk

Bird gang
You know what, Bird gang, we do appreciate the confidence. Starting not one, but TWO players with zero points (Desmond King II and Calvin Ridley), while still earning a W... talk about arrogant.
Gang Green
"Not getting many looks" won't cut it as an excuse this week for Gang Green. Our pass-catching corps (two WR and one TE) were targeted a grand total of 24 times in Week 15. With just 11 total receptions, that group may have some chemistry issues.
