Coach Talk

Blue Crabs
Well, we do appreciate the confidence this past week, Blue Crabs. It takes a special kind of moxie to start a player with negative points (plus a zero-point player) while still earning the W. All we ask is to please limit that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the regular season. Try it in the postseason and we're toast.
BoomGoestheDynamite
Unless BoomGoestheDynamite wants to go full diva-mode, then "not getting many chances" won't cut it as an excuse this week. Our pass-catching corps (two WR and one TE) were targeted a whopping 20 times in Week 16. Those players should participate in some additional timing drills with their QBs, considering they managed just 12 catches.
