Coach Talk

Slim Pickens
Three running backs, two wide receivers, one tight end, zero touchdowns: The six starting offensive position players on Slim Pickens combined to record a healthy 416 yards from scrimmage. None of those starters could find his way to the end zone in Week 15.
The Big Legursky
Well, we certainly can't gripe about a shortage of opportunities this time, can we? As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) collectively received a respectable 29 targets in Week 15. With only 13 total receptions, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
