Coach Talk

Let Dalvin Cook
Listen, Let Dalvin Cook, we do admire the confidence. Deploying a player with zero points (Eric Ebron), while still earning the W... that's borderline arrogant.
Cant Touch This
Yo, Cant Touch This, did your receiving crew drop too many balls in practice or something? With just 12 targets combined in Week 15, our four starting pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) obviously need to get in their respective QBs' ears this week in practice.
