Coach Talk

IN IT TO WIN IT
Hey, we'll definitely take the win, IN IT TO WIN IT! Having said that, if we want to ramp our performance up to the next level, then we have found an area to improve. Our wide receivers were severely outmatched this past week. Tyler Lockett (45 yards from scrimmage, no TDs) and Curtis Samuel (17 yards, no TDs) combined for just 16.6 points in Week 15. For GridIron Bullies, Demaryius Thomas and Davante Adams showed us how it's supposed to be done by putting up a score of 43.8. We need to bounce back with a big statement in Week 16!
GridIron Bullies
Unless GridIron Bullies wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not seeing enough looks" won't cut it as an excuse this time around. As a group, our pass-catching corps (two WR, one TE) were targeted a healthy 29 times in Week 15. With only 17 total receptions, this group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
