Coach Talk

san antonio stampede
Listen, san antonio stampede, we do certainly appreciate the confidence. It takes a special sort of guts to roll out a player with zero points (Jordan Howard), while still getting the win.
bluegrass
bluegrass will find it tough to gripe about lack of opportunity this past week. Our five pass-catchers (four WR and one TE) combined to get a grand total of 33 targets in Week 14. Chemistry could be an issue, as that group hauled in only 20 catches.
