Coach Talk

ATLiens Returns
Getting the win is most important, ATLiens Returns, but we do know of one spot where we should get stronger as a team: our starting running backs were thoroughly outclassed by the opposition. Held back by Leonard Fournette (64 total yards, no TDs) and James White (37 yards, no TDs), our three RBs combined for only 32.77 points in Week 15, and the starting backfield for FEAR THE NECKBEARD doubled us up with a score of 76.67. Let's sweet-talk the offensive coordinator to get some more touches in Week 16!
FEAR THE NECKBEARD
"Not getting many looks" really isn't an excuse this week for FEAR THE NECKBEARD. As a group, our trio of pass-catchers (two WR and one TE) combined to see a grand total of 14 targets in Week 15. Those players might need to hit the practice field, considering they notched only six catches.
