Coach Talk

Crimson Dragons
Deploying a lineup that won by 34.75 points this past week... we consider that to be a job done right.
run to daylight
Well, we certainly can't complain about a lack of opportunities this time, can we? As a group, our trio of pass-catchers (two WR, one TE) were targeted a grand total of 31 times in Week 16. Those players should spend extra practice time working with their QBs, considering they recorded only 19 receptions.
