Coach Talk

Charm City Law Firm
You know what, Charm City Law Firm, we do certainly respect the confidence. Deploying not one, but TWO starters with zero points (Gerald Everett and Lamar Jackson), while still earning a W... that's a bit too risky for us traditionalists! We just ask you to please limit that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the regular season. Do it in the playoffs and we'll be toast.
Zero Dark Murray
Well, we can't really whine about a shortage of opportunities this time, can we? As a group, our five pass-catchers (four WR and one TE) collectively received a grand total of 41 targets in Week 16. With only 17 total catches, this group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
