Coach Talk

🏈People's Champ🏆
Deploying a lineup that earned almost 223 points this past week... we consider that to be a job well done.
Hail Cesar
Unless Hail Cesar wants to go full diva-mode, then "not getting enough looks" cannot be an excuse this week. Our pass-catching corps (three WR, one TE) were targeted a grand total of 35 times in Week 15. With just 21 total receptions, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
