Coach Talk

The Replacements
Listen, The Replacements, we certainly appreciate the confidence. It takes a special kind of gumption to start a player with negative points (James White) while still getting a W. All we ask is to please keep those shenanigans to the regular season. Try it in the playoffs and we're toast.
Foot Circumcision
Well, we can't really whine about a lack of opportunities this week, can we? As a group, our five pass-catchers (four WR and one TE) combined to see a healthy 26 targets in Week 12. Chemistry could be an issue, as that group tallied just 12 receptions.
