Coach Talk

Grand Ramblin' Wreck
Getting the win is most important, Grand Ramblin' Wreck, but we've also identified one spot where we can improve as a team. Our starting wide receivers were severely outplayed this past week. Held back by a Chris Godwin goose-egg and Adam Thielen (19 yards, no TDs), our three WRs combined for only 5.2 points in Week 15. The starting wideouts for Tábor Bay Devil Rays nearly tripled us up with a score of 14.3. Let's persuade the QB to get some more targets in Week 16!
Tábor Bay Devil Rays
"Not seeing many opportunities" really isn't an excuse this week for Tábor Bay Devil Rays. Our four pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) were targeted a healthy 19 times in Week 15. Chemistry appears to be an issue, as that group notched just eight receptions.
