Coach Talk

Gary Polley's Team 3
Hey, it's good to be confident, Gary Polley's Team 3. It takes moxie to play a starter with zero points (Mark Ingram II), while still earning the win. We just ask you to please limit those flashy shenanigans to the regular season. Try it in the postseason and we're finished.
Emily River
"Not getting many chances" won't fly as an excuse this week for Emily River. Our pass-catching corps (three WR, one TE) were targeted a healthy 21 times in Week 17. Chemistry and timing seem to be issues as that group hauled in just 10 catches.
