Coach Talk

The Adams Family
Well, we do respect the confidence this past week, The Adams Family. Starting not one, but TWO players with zero points (Desmond King II and David Njoku), while still getting a win... that's borderline cocky.
Rabbi Keenums
Well, we certainly can't complain about a lack of opportunities this time, can we? As a group, our six pass-catchers (four WR, two TE) combined to receive a respectable 50 targets in Week 15. With just 26 total catches, that group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
