Coach Talk

Alex's Definitive Team
You know what, Alex's Definitive Team, we do certainly appreciate the confidence. Deploying a starter with zero points (Jalen Hurts), while still earning the win... that's a bit too risky for us traditionalists.
Dave's Not Here 1
Well, we certainly can't whine about a shortage of opportunities this time, can we? As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR, one TE) were targeted a grand total of 27 times in Week 16. Those players should spend extra practice time working with their QBs, considering they reeled in just 13 balls.
