Coach Talk

What?!
Getting the win is most important, What?!, but we certainly know of one spot where we should get stronger as a team. Our running backs were utterly outplayed this past week. Jordan Howard (65 total yards, no TDs) logged just 7 points in Week 11. Todd Gurley II and Melvin Gordon III showed us how it's supposed to be done by putting up a score of 25. Let's put some extra effort into scouting these upcoming defenses!
Gridiron Gladiators
Gridiron Gladiators will find it tough to complain about lack of opportunity this past week. Our pass-catching corps (three WR and one TE) were targeted a whopping 43 times in Week 11. Timing and chemistry seem to be issues as that group tallied only 25 receptions.
