Coach Talk

Vtown Rookie
Getting the win is most important, Vtown Rookie, but we do know of one spot where we can get better as a team... our running backs were soundly outmatched this past week. Lamar Miller (eight total yards, no TDs) and Mark Ingram (74 yards, no TDs) combined for only 10.2 points in Week 15. Adrian Peterson and Tarik Cohen doubled us up with a score of 24.36. We need to put some extra effort into scouting these upcoming defenses!
Rookie Jr.
The problem in Week 15 is pretty easy to spot, Rookie Jr.. Going with the Los Angeles Rams defense in a tough fantasy matchup... let's all put this behind us and move on?
