Coach Talk

Gronki kong
Hey, we admire the confidence, Gronki kong. It takes a special kind of moxie to deploy a starter with zero points (Hunter Henry), while still getting the win. All we ask is to please limit that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the regular season. Can you imagine how silly we'd look if we let it happen in the playoffs?
twoHOPKINSoneKUPP
twoHOPKINSoneKUPP will find it tough to complain about lack of opportunity this past week. As a group, our pass-catching corps (four WR, one TE) were targeted a respectable 26 times in Week 16. With just 12 total catches, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
