Coach Talk

Aerial Attack
Listen, Aerial Attack, we certainly appreciate the confidence. It takes true moxie to deploy a player with negative points (the San Francisco 49ers defense) while still getting the win. All we ask is to please keep that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the regular season. Try it in the playoffs and we're toast.
Richmond Renegade
Unless Richmond Renegade wants to go full diva-mode, then "not getting enough chances" cannot be an excuse this time around. As a group, our pass-catching corps (two WR and one TE) combined to get a respectable 14 targets in Week 14. Chemistry and timing seem to be issues as that group tallied only eight catches.
