Coach Talk

Dak to the Future
You know what, Dak to the Future, we do certainly respect the confidence. It takes a special kind of moxie to play a starter with zero points (the New York Giants defense), while still earning the win! All we ask is to please keep those flashy shenanigans to the regular season. Try it in the postseason and we'll be done.
Naperville Endgame
Unless Naperville Endgame wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not seeing enough looks" is definitely not an excuse this time around. Our four pass-catchers (three WR and one TE) collectively saw a healthy 22 targets in Week 16. Those players might need to get some extra reps with the JUGS machine, considering they notched only 13 receptions.
