Coach Talk

'SHOWTIME'
Nice work, 'SHOWTIME'. Fielding a starting crew that won by more than 70 points in Week 15.
Da Rams
Da Rams will find it tough to gripe about lack of opportunity this past week. Our pass-catching corps (two WR, one TE) combined to see a grand total of 20 targets in Week 15. Chemistry seems to be the primary problem, as that group hauled in only 12 balls.
