Coach Talk

larry's Team
We do appreciate the confidence this past week, larry's Team. It's a bold move to play a player with zero points (Terrance Mitchell), while still getting the win.
Raiders soul smasher
"Not getting enough opportunities" won't cut it as an excuse this week for Raiders soul smasher. As a group, our pass-catching corps (four WR and one TE) collectively received a grand total of 36 targets in Week 14. Chemistry seems to be the primary problem, as that group notched just 21 catches.
