Coach Talk

Cedric's TPSer's
Kudos on assembling a lineup that won by 21 points this past week. We did what we needed to do and took care of business.
Cowboy Chip
Unless Cowboy Chip wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not getting enough chances" cannot be an excuse this time around. Our four pass-catchers (three WR and one TE) collectively received a respectable 25 targets in Week 15. With just 12 total receptions, this group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
