Coach Talk

Bonelli
Sure, we ultimately got the win, but there's not really any other way to put it, Bonelli. Our running backs were significantly outmatched by the opposition. Aaron Jones (eight total yards, no TDs) and James White (37 yards, no TDs) combined for only 9.5 points in Week 15, and the starting backfield for I Love the JETS showed us up by recording a score of 24. We need to bounce back with a big statement in Week 16!
I Love the JETS
Well, we can't really complain about a shortage of opportunities this week, can we? As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR and one TE) were targeted a whopping 23 times in Week 15. Those players might need to spend more time with the JUGS machine, considering they pulled down only 13 catches.
