Coach Talk

LuckbeataBrady2nite
Hey, we'll definitely take the win, LuckbeataBrady2nite! Having said that, if we want to ramp our performance up to the next level, then here's one area where we can improve... our starting running backs were significantly outplayed by the opposition. Matt Breida (57 total yards, no TDs) and Lamar Miller (115 yards, no TDs) combined for just 21.2 points in Week 13. James White and Todd Gurley II doubled us up with a score of 50.3. Let's put some extra effort into scouting these upcoming defenses!
Hooked on a Thielen
Unless Hooked on a Thielen wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not seeing enough chances" is not an excuse this time around. As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR and one TE) collectively got a respectable 33 targets in Week 13. Chemistry and timing appear to be issues as that group hauled in only 20 catches.
