Coach Talk

Go Blue
Hey, we'll definitely take the win, Go Blue! Having said that, if we want to ramp our performance up to the next level, then we have found an area to improve... our QB was utterly outplayed by the opposition. Our one men under center combined for just 14 points in Week 15, and the QBs for The Blaydon Racers nearly tripled us up with a score of 41.
The Blaydon Racers
Well, we certainly can't whine about a lack of opportunities this week, can we? As a group, our trio of pass-catchers (two WR and one TE) collectively got a grand total of 25 targets in Week 15. Chemistry seems to be the primary problem, as that group reeled in just 12 receptions.
