Coach Talk

Puppet Mazzter
Mission accomplished, Puppet Mazzter. Nice work assembling a lineup that blew the opponent out by a whopping 21.6 points in Week 17.
NUMBER TWO
Unless NUMBER TWO wants to go full diva-mode, then "not seeing many opportunities" doesn't fly as an excuse this time around. Our pass-catching corps (one WR, one TE) were targeted a hearty 11 times in Week 17. With just five total receptions, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
