Coach Talk

Dust N' Bones
Earning the win is most important, Dust N' Bones, but we've also identified one spot where we should get stronger as a team. Our starting running backs were thoroughly outplayed this past week. Chase Edmonds (13 total yards, no TDs) and Chris Carson (90 yards, one TD) combined for just 16.3 points in Week 8. Jamaal Williams and James Conner doubled us up with a score of 36.6. Let's bounce back with a big statement in Week 9!
PACKERS Brno
Unless PACKERS Brno wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not seeing enough opportunities" is definitely not an excuse this time around. As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) combined to see a grand total of 21 targets in Week 8. Those players should spend extra practice time working with their QBs, considering they pulled down only 13 receptions.
