Coach Talk

London Gentlemen
Getting the win is most important, London Gentlemen, but we also know of one spot where we should get stronger as a team; our starting wide receivers were significantly outplayed by the opposition. Amari Cooper (32 total yards, no TDs) and JuJu Smith-Schuster (40 yards, no TDs) combined for just 9 points in Week 15. For Standing4Flag, Julian Edelman and Davante Adams doubled us up with a score of 22. Let's put some extra effort into scouting those upcoming defenses!
Standing4Flag
A lot of cake, no icing: The four starting offensive position players (two WRs, one RB, one TE) on Standing4Flag combined to record a healthy 398 total yards. None of those starters was able to score a touchdown in Week 15.
