Coach Talk

Elijah’s Elite Team
Listen, Elijah’s Elite Team, we do certainly admire the confidence. Starting not one, but TWO players with zero points (Jamaal Williams and Zach Cunningham), while still getting the W... that's borderline arrogant. We just ask you to please keep those flashy shenanigans to the regular season. Can you imagine how silly we'd look if we let it happen in the playoffs?
Smack down boyz
Well, we certainly can't whine about a lack of opportunities this week, can we? Our pass-catching corps (five WR, one TE) collectively received a grand total of 29 targets in Week 14. With just 16 total receptions, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
