Coach Talk

Shelpas UTD
Earning the win is most important, Shelpas UTD, but we certainly know of one spot where we should get stronger as a team; our running backs were clearly outmatched by the opposition. LeSean McCoy (one yards from scrimmage, no TDs) and Marlon Mack (33 yards, one TD) combined for just 9 points in Week 14, while the starting backfield for Državniposo showed us how it's supposed to be done by putting up a score of 23. Let's bounce back with a big statement in Week 15!
Državniposo
Well, we certainly can't complain about a lack of opportunities this time, can we? As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR and one TE) were targeted a healthy 29 times in Week 14. Those players should try to get some extra practice reps in with their QBs, considering they pulled down just 15 receptions.
