Coach Talk

Los Toros
Getting the win is most important, Los Toros, but we do know of one spot where we can get better as a team; our starting QB was significantly outplayed this past week. Our one men under center combined for only 16.92 points in Week 15, while the QBs for Q doubled us up with a score of 37.08.
Q
With one reception on only two targets this past week, the starting RBs for Q should smooth things over with their QBs... and remind them to start checking down more often.
