Coach Talk

Frank's Freaks
Bravo on assembling a starting crew that won by a staggering 38.56 points this past week. We did what was needed and took care of business.
Gerbschmidt
"Not getting enough opportunities" won't cut it as an excuse this week for Gerbschmidt. Our pass-catching corps (four WR, one TE) collectively got a grand total of 35 targets in Week 15. Those players might need to hit the practice field, considering they reeled in just 17 receptions.
