Coach Talk

Leprechauns
We do admire the confidence this past week, Leprechauns. Starting not one, not two, but THREE players with zero points (Davante Adams, Marquise Goodwin, and David Njoku), while still earning the W... talk about arrogant.
PurplePainterEaters
Unless PurplePainterEaters wants to go full diva-mode, then "not getting enough looks" doesn't fly as an excuse this time around. As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) combined to see a grand total of 35 targets in Week 16. With only 16 total catches, this group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
