Coach Talk

Negligent Discharges
Putting together a lineup that earned over 110 points this past week... we took care of business and did what we needed to do.
Redlegs
Unless Redlegs wants to go full diva-mode, then "not seeing enough looks" doesn't fly as an excuse this time around. As a group, our six pass-catchers (five WR, one TE) collectively got a grand total of 32 targets in Week 15. With only 13 total receptions, this group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
