Coach Talk

The Blade Runners
Hey, it's good to be confident, The Blade Runners. It takes moxie to deploy a player with zero points (Dawson Knox), while still earning a W! All we ask is to please limit those flashy shenanigans to the regular season. Can you imagine how silly we'd look if we let it happen in the playoffs?
White Pickett Fence
Unless White Pickett Fence wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not getting many chances" can't be an excuse this time around. As a group, our pass-catching corps (two WR and one TE) were targeted a grand total of 17 times in Week 13. Chemistry could be an issue, as that group managed only 10 receptions.
