Coach Talk

Xibalba
Hey, we'll definitely take the win, Xibalba! Having said that, if we want to ramp our performance up to the next level, then we have found an area to improve... our running backs were clearly outclassed by the opposition. David Montgomery (49 total yards, no TDs) and Melvin Gordon III (64 yards, no TDs) combined for only 13.3 points in Week 15. Aaron Jones and Kenyan Drake literally quadrupled us with a score of 56.7.
OJsUnstoppableBronco
Unless OJsUnstoppableBronco wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not seeing many chances" is not an excuse this time around. Our pass-catching corps (three WR and two TE) combined to see a grand total of 26 targets in Week 15. Chemistry and timing appear to be issues as that group hauled in just 13 catches.
