Coach Talk

SchMoke's Goons
Hey, we'll definitely take the win, SchMoke's Goons! Having said that, if we want to ramp our performance up to the next level, then we have found an area to improve; our wide receivers were utterly outplayed by the opposition. Buoyed by Kenny Golladay (five total yards, no TDs) and Chris Godwin (13 yards, no TDs), our three WRs combined for only 7.9 points in Week 14. The starting wideouts for Patrick's Boss Team nearly tripled us up with a score of 22.2. Let's put some more effort into scouting those upcoming defenses!
Patrick's Boss Team
Well, we certainly can't whine about a lack of opportunities this week, can we? Our four pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) were targeted a grand total of 29 times in Week 14. Timing and chemistry appear to be issues as that group pulled down only 17 balls.
