Coach Talk

ReddBurrds
Listen ReddBurrds, I'm a glass-half-full kind of coach. While some may harp on the fact that our scoring's declined a bit recently, I'll choose to take the high road. Averaging 519.18 points through Week 11, our crew has shown it's more than capable of outproducing the 487.75 we needed for this past week's win!
Kenny's deer
Unless Kenny's deer wants to go full diva-mode, then "not getting many opportunities" cannot be a valid excuse this week. Our pass-catching corps (two WR, one TE) were targeted a grand total of 13 times in Week 12. With just five total catches, this group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
