Coach Talk

Datruth
You know what, Datruth, we do certainly appreciate the confidence. Deploying a starter with zero points (Darius Leonard), while still getting the W... talk about arrogant.
Az Dogz
Unless Az Dogz wants to go full diva-mode, then "not getting enough opportunities" doesn't fly as an excuse this week. As a group, our pass-catching corps (two WR and one TE) collectively got a respectable 19 targets in Week 16. Those players might need to get some extra reps with the JUGS machine, considering they tallied just 11 catches.
