Coach Talk
ELJIE GRINO's Team
Hey, we'll definitely take the win, ELJIE GRINO's Team! Having said that, if we want to take our performance to the next level, then we have found an area to improve. Our starting running backs were soundly outplayed this past week. Lamar Miller (eight yards from scrimmage, no TDs) and James White (37 yards, no TDs) combined for only 7 points in Week 15, while the starting backfield for Jaydos literally quadrupled us with a score of 29.4. We need to bug the offensive coordinator to get some more touches in Week 16!
Jaydos
Unless Jaydos wants to go full diva-mode, then "not getting many opportunities" doesn't fly as an excuse this time around. As a group, our pass-catching corps (two WR, two TE) were targeted a whopping 32 times in Week 15. With only 11 total catches, this group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
