Coach Talk

Endzone Dance
Hey, we'll definitely take the win, Endzone Dance! 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 running backs were significantly outclassed this past week. Austin Ekeler (43 total yards, no TDs) and Doug Martin (67 yards, one TD) combined for just 15 points in Week 13. Theo Riddick and Todd Gurley II doubled us up with a score of 36.3. Let's put some more effort into scouting these upcoming defenses!
Big Jerms Worms
Big Jerms Worms may find it tough to gripe about lack of opportunities this past week. Our pass-catching corps (three WR, one TE) collectively received a grand total of 21 targets in Week 13. With only 10 total catches, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
