Coach Talk

FriendsOfDonCherry
Listen, FriendsOfDonCherry, we do certainly admire the confidence. It takes gumption to play a starter with zero points (Marquez Valdes-Scantling), while still earning the W! We just ask you to please limit that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the regular season. Can you imagine how silly we'd look if we let it happen in the playoffs?
# 4 Broke My ♥
Well, we can't really whine about a lack of opportunities this time, can we? As a group, our pass-catching corps (four WR and one TE) were targeted a grand total of 32 times in Week 16. Timing and chemistry seem to be issues as that group recorded only 16 receptions.
