Coach Talk

Rush the Fields
Nice work assembling a lineup that won by 25.7 points this past week. We did what we had to do and took care of business.
Collin's Team
Unless Collin's Team wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not getting enough opportunities" is definitely not an excuse this time around. As a group, our pass-catching corps (four WR, one TE) collectively saw a grand total of 28 targets in Week 16. Chemistry seems to be a problem, as that group notched just 16 receptions.
