Coach Talk

The Shadows
Nice job assembling a starting crew that won by more than 61 points this past week. We consider that to be a job done right.
whodropufoo
Unless whodropufoo wants to go full diva-mode, then "not seeing many looks" is definitely not a valid excuse this week. As a group, our pass-catching corps (two WR and one TE) combined to see a healthy 14 targets in Week 16. With just six total receptions, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
