Coach Talk

Jumpin' Bones
Listen, Jumpin' Bones, we do admire the confidence. Deploying a player with zero points (Emmanuel Sanders), while still getting the W... that's playing with fire.
AtomicDawgs20
AtomicDawgs20 may find it tough to complain about lack of opportunity this past week. Our pass-catching corps (three WR and one TE) collectively got a grand total of 17 targets in Week 15. With only seven total receptions, that group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
