Coach Talk

Arin Johnson's Team
Hey, we admire the confidence, Arin Johnson's Team. Playing a starter with zero points (Micah Parsons), while still earning the W... that's a bit too risky for us traditionalists.
Sayers Monsters
Welp, we can't really complain about a lack of opportunities this time, can we? As a group, our five pass-catchers (three WR and two TE) collectively saw a grand total of 36 targets in Week 15. Chemistry and timing seem to be issues as that group reeled in just 14 receptions.
