Coach Talk

beats by ray
Nice job assembling a starting crew that won by nearly 43 points this past week. We consider that to be a job well done.
The Great CornJulio
Well, we can't really complain about a lack of opportunities this time, can we? As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) collectively got a healthy 32 targets in Week 17. Those players might need to hit the practice field, considering they managed just 16 receptions.
