Coach Talk

iDA B€$T @ Di$ cHiT
You know what, iDA B€$T @ Di$ cHiT, we do certainly appreciate the confidence. Starting not one, not two, but FOUR players with zero points while still earning a W... that's a bit too risky for us traditionalists. Try that type of flashy, show-off stuff next week against Iron Eagle and see what happens.
Arkansas Iron Horses
Well, we certainly can't complain about a lack of opportunities this time, can we? Our pass-catching corps (seven WR and four TE) were targeted a hearty 45 times in Week 16. With only 27 total receptions, this group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
