Coach Talk

WhooPass
Hey, we'll definitely take the win, WhooPass! Having said that, if we want to ramp our performance up to the next level, then we have found an area to improve. Our running backs were significantly outmatched by the opposition. Held back by Adrian Peterson (19 yards from scrimmage, no TDs) and LeGarrette Blount (51 yards, no TDs), our three RBs combined for only 15 points in Week 14, and the starting backfield for The Vultures doubled us up with a score of 36. We need to bounce back with a big statement in Week 15!
The Vultures
Unless The Vultures wants to go full diva-mode, then "not getting enough chances" won't cut it as an excuse this week. Our pass-catching corps (two WR, one TE) were targeted a healthy 20 times in Week 14. Those players should try to get some extra practice reps in with their QBs, considering they pulled down just six catches.
