Coach Talk

CARDINAL & GOLD
Sure, we ultimately got the win, but there's not really any other way to put it, CARDINAL & GOLD. Our running backs were soundly outmatched this past week. Melvin Gordon III (64 yards from scrimmage, no TDs) and Alvin Kamara (89 yards, no TDs) combined for just 21.3 points in Week 15. Nick Chubb and Ezekiel Elliott showed us how it's supposed to be done by putting up a score of 54.8.
Hades Star
Like the league's new tackling guidelines, it's important to keep your head up, Hades Star! There's a ton we can take away from this season and apply to next year... it's never too early to begin strategizing and thinking about where to improve!
