Coach Talk

Liquor Wrecked’ Em
Hey, it's good to be confident, Liquor Wrecked’ Em. Deploying a player with zero points (DeVante Parker), while still earning a W... that's a bit too risky for us traditionalists.
Noah’s Chark
Unless Noah’s Chark wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not seeing many chances" can't be an excuse this time around. As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR and one TE) were targeted a healthy 27 times in Week 16. Chemistry appears to be an issue, as that group reeled in just 16 receptions.
