Coach Talk

YaSistasAss
Nice work deploying a lineup that won by over 53 points this past week. We did what was needed and took care of business.
Carpe Diem
"Not seeing enough looks" really isn't an excuse this week for Carpe Diem. As a group, our five pass-catchers (four WR and one TE) combined to get a whopping 32 targets in Week 16. Chemistry could be the primary issue, as that group recorded just 16 receptions.
