Coach Talk

Prairie Dawg
Nice work deploying a starting crew that won by a whopping 26 points this past week. We took care of business and did what we needed to do.
Warriors
Unless Warriors wants to go full diva-mode, then "not getting enough opportunities" is definitely not an excuse this week. Our pass-catching corps (three WR and one TE) were targeted a respectable 42 times in Week 17. Those players should spend extra practice time working with their QBs, considering they hauled in just 25 catches.
