Coach Talk

Shadee's Back
Hey, we'll definitely take the win, Shadee's Back! Having said that, if we want to take our performance to the next level, then here's one area where we can improve: our starting running backs were significantly outplayed by the opposition. Buoyed by Duke Johnson (23 yards from scrimmage, no TDs) and Kareem Hunt (76 yards, no TDs), our three RBs combined for only 20.2 points in Week 15, while the starting backfield for SS 70'S doubled us up with a score of 49.8.
SS 70'S
Unless SS 70'S wants to go full diva-mode, then "not seeing many looks" is not an excuse this time around. As a group, our pass-catching corps (two WR and one TE) combined to receive a healthy 24 targets in Week 15. With just 14 total catches, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
