Coach Talk

Rollin's Maximums
Hey, we do appreciate the confidence this past week, Rollin's Maximums. It takes a special kind of moxie to play a starter with zero points (Chris Carson), while still earning a W! We just ask you to please limit those flashy shenanigans to the regular season. Try it when the postseason rolls around, and we're finished.
MOTA
Unless MOTA wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not getting enough opportunities" is definitely not a reasonable excuse this week. As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) combined to see a whopping 34 targets in Week 10. Timing and chemistry appear to be issues as that group notched only 20 receptions.
