Coach Talk

The Derelicts
We do respect the confidence this past week, The Derelicts. It's a bold move to play a player with zero points (Eric Ebron), while still getting a win.
The football team
Unless The football team wants to go full diva-mode, then "not getting many looks" can't be an excuse this time around. As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) collectively received a healthy 28 targets in Week 15. Those players should spend extra practice time working with their QBs, considering they recorded only 13 receptions.
