Coach Talk

Darth Tater
Putting together a starting crew that recorded 105.62 points this past week... we did what we had to do and took care of business.
Kyler the Creator
Unless Kyler the Creator wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not seeing many looks" doesn't fly as an excuse this time around. Our four wide receivers collectively got a grand total of 18 targets in Week 16. Those players should spend extra practice time working with their QBs, considering they tallied just nine catches.
