Coach Talk

The Hitmen
Three wide receivers, two running backs, one tight end, zero touchdowns: The six starting offensive position players on The Hitmen combined to record a healthy 475 yards from scrimmage. None of those starters could find his way to the end zone in Week 15.
Saquon Deez Nuts
Our starting QB tossed two interceptions and literally no touchdowns? Maybe we need to go back and review the game tape: Was Jared Goff actually that off-rhythm with his receivers, or were the Eagles just that great defending the pass? This is the sort of judgment you'll need to make, Saquon Deez Nuts, as you deploy your lineup in Week 16 and beyond!
