Coach Talk

MANNING'S MAULERS
You know what, MANNING'S MAULERS, we do respect the confidence. It's a bold move to play a starter with zero points (Charvarius Ward), while still earning a W. All we ask is to please limit that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the regular season. Do it in the playoffs and we'll be finished.
Saultcrew
Unless Saultcrew wants to go full diva-mode, then "not seeing many opportunities" doesn't fly as an excuse this week. Our five pass-catchers (four WR, one TE) combined to receive a grand total of 27 targets in Week 13. With just 13 total receptions, this group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
