Coach Talk

Meatmonger
We do appreciate the confidence this past week, Meatmonger. It takes gumption to deploy a starter with zero points (Josh Reynolds), while still earning the W.
Arin Johnson's Team
Unless Arin Johnson's Team wants to go full diva-mode, then "not getting many opportunities" won't cut it as an excuse this week. As a group, our pass-catching corps (five WR, one TE) collectively saw a healthy 52 targets in Week 15. With only 31 total catches, this group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
