Coach Talk

Gibson’s Finest
Listen, Gibson’s Finest, we do certainly admire the confidence. It takes gumption to roll out a player with zero points (Marquise Goodwin), while still earning a win.
Jack & Diet
Unless Jack & Diet wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not seeing enough looks" isn't really an excuse this week. Our five pass-catchers (four WR and one TE) collectively got a whopping 28 targets in Week 16. Those players might need to spend more time with the JUGS machine, considering they tallied only 17 catches.
