Coach Talk

big diesel
Well, we do appreciate the confidence this past week, big diesel. Deploying a starter with zero points (Mike Gesicki), while still earning the win... that's playing with fire.
Valley Vikings
Well, we can't really complain about a lack of opportunities this week, can we? As a group, our pass-catching corps (four WR, one TE) collectively got a healthy 24 targets in Week 15. With just 13 total receptions, this group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
