Coach Talk

Demo men
Getting the win is most important, Demo men, but we've also identified one spot where we should improve as a team; our starting running backs were severely outmatched this past week. Miles Sanders (27 yards from scrimmage, no TDs) and Royce Freeman (61 yards, no TDs) combined for just 9.8 points in Week 1. Leonard Fournette and Alvin Kamara tripled us up with a score of 30.8. Let's bounce back with a big statement in Week 2!
SuperbPremonitions
SuperbPremonitions may find it tough to gripe about lack of opportunities this past week. Our pass-catching corps (four WR, one TE) were targeted a whopping 44 times in Week 1. Those players might need to spend more time with the JUGS machine, considering they pulled down only 25 receptions.
