Coach Talk

The Destroyers
You know what, The Destroyers, we do appreciate the confidence. Deploying a starter with zero points (Mike Gesicki), while still getting the win... talk about arrogant.
Mike's Team 99
Mike's Team 99 may find it tough to complain about lack of opportunities this past week. As a group, our trio of pass-catchers (two WR, one TE) collectively got a hearty 19 targets in Week 15. Those players should participate in some additional timing drills with their QBs, considering they recorded only 11 receptions.
