Coach Talk

The Klingons
Hey, we admire the confidence, The Klingons. Deploying a starter with zero points (Julio Jones), while still getting a W... that's playing with fire. All we ask is to please limit that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the regular season. Can you imagine how silly we'd look if we let it happen in the playoffs?
Gritz Blitz
Unless Gritz Blitz wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not seeing enough opportunities" can't be an excuse this time around. Our two wide receivers collectively saw a hearty 11 targets in Week 13. With only five total catches, this group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
