Coach Talk

sean's Yumbelievable Team
Hey, we admire the confidence, sean's Yumbelievable Team. It's a bold move to deploy a starter with zero points (Jonathan Taylor), while still getting the win! All we ask is to please keep that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the regular season. Try it when the postseason rolls around, and we're finished.
Jack's Expert Team
Jack's Expert Team will find it tough to gripe about lack of opportunities this past week. As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR and one TE) were targeted a grand total of 34 times in Week 16. Chemistry appears to be an issue, as that group hauled in only 18 receptions.
