Coach Talk

chad's Swell Team
Hey, we admire the confidence, chad's Swell Team. Rolling out not one, not two, but THREE players with zero points (Tre'Davious White, Vonn Bell, and Derrick Henry), while still earning the W... that's playing with fire. All we ask is to please limit those flashy shenanigans to the regular season. Can you imagine how silly we'd look if we let it happen in the playoffs?
'T-N-T' Treat'§
'T-N-T' Treat'§ will find it tough to complain about lack of opportunity this past week. As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR and one TE) were targeted a whopping 18 times in Week 16. With just 11 total receptions, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
