Coach Talk

Arkansas Iron Horses
Hey, it's good to be confident, Arkansas Iron Horses. It takes moxie to start, not one, but TWO players with zero points (David Bell and DeeJay Dallas), while still getting the W. Try that type of flashy, show-off stuff next week against Habs and see what happens.
James's Nifty Team
Unless James's Nifty Team wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not seeing enough opportunities" can't be an excuse this week. Our pass-catching corps (seven WR, three TE) were targeted a grand total of 45 times in Week 15. Those players should try to get some extra practice reps in with their QBs, considering they notched only 27 receptions.
