Coach Talk

Diamond Dameon Pierce
Hey, we admire the confidence, Diamond Dameon Pierce. It takes real gumption to deploy a starter with zero points (Dameon Pierce), while still earning the win.
Romeo Reigns
Unless Romeo Reigns wants to go full diva-mode, then "not seeing enough opportunities" doesn't fly as an excuse this week. Our pass-catching corps (two WR, one TE) collectively received a hearty 20 targets in Week 15. With only 12 total catches, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
