Coach Talk

Terminators
Listen, Terminators, we do respect the confidence. It's a bold move to start, not one, but TWO players with zero points (Dane Cruikshank and Lenny Jones), while still earning the win.
Tyler's Team
Unless Tyler's Team wants to go full diva-mode, then "not seeing enough opportunities" is definitely not an excuse this time around. As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR and one TE) collectively received a respectable 17 targets in Week 15. Those players might need to get some extra reps with the JUGS machine, considering they hauled in just nine receptions.
