Coach Talk

Team 6 7th
You know what, Team 6 7th, we do certainly appreciate the confidence. It takes a special sort of moxie to start a player with zero points (Mike Gesicki), while still getting the win. All we ask is to please keep that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the regular season. Do it when the postseason rolls around, and we're toast.
Troy Aikman
Troy Aikman will find it tough to gripe about lack of opportunities this past week. Our four pass-catchers (three WR and one TE) were targeted a hearty 21 times in Week 14. Those players should participate in some additional timing drills with their QBs, considering they reeled in only 12 receptions.
