Coach Talk

A.N.D
Hey, we admire the confidence, A.N.D. Starting a player with zero points (Derrius Guice), while still earning the win... talk about arrogant.
Dem boyz
Dem boyz may find it tough to gripe about lack of opportunities this past week. Our pass-catching corps (four WR, one TE) were targeted a grand total of 29 times in Week 15. Chemistry seems to be an issue, as that group pulled down only 16 balls.
