Coach Talk

DaUpsetters
Hey, we'll definitely take the win, DaUpsetters! Having said that, if we want to ramp our performance up to the next level, then here's one area where we can improve. Our running backs were thoroughly outplayed by the opposition. Melvin Gordon III (64 yards from scrimmage, no TDs) and Dalvin Cook (43 yards, no TDs) combined for just 23.9 points in Week 15, while the starting backfield for Deez Marauderz almost tripled us up with a score of 70.4.
Deez Marauderz
Deez Marauderz will find it tough to complain about lack of opportunity this past week. As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) were targeted a healthy 25 times in Week 15. With just 13 total catches, this group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
