Coach Talk

Gofful
We do appreciate the confidence this past week, Gofful. It takes moxie to deploy a player with zero points (Jared Cook), while still getting the W. Try that type of flashy, show-off stuff next week against Cool Brees and we're sure to be toast.
Can You Diggs It?
Unless Can You Diggs It? wants to go full diva-mode, then "not seeing many looks" is definitely not a viable excuse this time around. As a group, our pass-catching corps (four WR, one TE) were targeted a grand total of 38 times in Week 12. With just 23 total receptions, that group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
