Coach Talk

tim brown raiders
Kudos to you, tim brown raiders. Nice work deploying a starting crew that earned almost 71 points in Week 16.
Shiraf Ravens
Unless Shiraf Ravens wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not getting many looks" doesn't fly as an excuse this time around. As a group, our trio of pass-catchers (two WR, one TE) combined to see a hearty 13 targets in Week 16. With just eight total catches, this group may have some chemistry issues.
