Coach Talk

RT17
Hey, we admire the confidence, RT17. It's a bold move to deploy a player with zero points (Eric Ebron), while still getting the W.
GREEN LEGION
Hey, GREEN LEGION, what did your receiving crew do to annoy their quarterbacks this week? Seeing just 19 total targets in Week 15, our five starting pass-catchers (four WR, one TE) obviously need to get on their QBs' good sides this week in practice.
