Coach Talk

Evil Clowns
Getting the win is most important, Evil Clowns, but we do know of one spot where we should get better as a team. Our quarterback was clearly outclassed by the opposition. Jared Goff went 32-of-43 for 424 yards and two touchdowns for Shake and Baker, and all Drew Brees could manage was an 18-for-30 day, with 184 yards and one passing TD. We need to spend some extra time this week working with our receivers!
Shake and Baker
A ton of action between the 20's: The six starting offensive position players on Shake and Baker (three RBs, two WRs, one TE) collectively gained a whopping 376 total yards. Unfortunately, no one from that group could find his way to the end zone in Week 13.
