Coach Talk
CardinalFan
Hey, we'll definitely take the win, CardinalFan! Having said that, if we want to take our performance to the next level, then we have found an area to improve. Our quarterback was utterly outclassed by the opposition. Mitchell Trubisky went 20-of-28 for 235 yards and two touchdowns for AltiTude Rams, and all Derek Carr could muster was a 21-for-38 outing, with 263 yards and one passing TD. Let's work overtime to get on the same page with our receivers this week!
AltiTude Rams
AltiTude Rams may find it tough to complain about lack of opportunities this past week. As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR and one TE) were targeted a respectable 35 times in Week 15. With only 20 total receptions, this group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
