Coach Talk

Headbussas
Listen Headbussas, we're "glass half full" kind of coaches. While others may harp on the fact that our scoring output has decreased a bit recently, we'll choose to take the high road. Averaging 98.32 points through Week 14, our crew has definitely proven that it's even stronger than the 74.78 we needed for this past week's win!
HITTMEN
Well, we certainly can't complain about a shortage of opportunities this week, can we? As a group, our pass-catching corps (two WR, one TE) were targeted a healthy 21 times in Week 15. With only 13 total catches, this group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
