Coach Talk

Marino's Mafia
Hey, we'll definitely take the win, Marino's Mafia! 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 this past week. Held back by Jamaal Williams (33 total yards, no TDs) and Patrick Laird (54 yards, no TDs), our three RBs combined for only 9.47 points in Week 15, while the starting backfield for Ertz's Eagles literally quadrupled us with a score of 42.
Ertz's Eagles
Welp, we can't really whine about a shortage of opportunities this time, can we? As a group, our four pass-catchers (two WR and two TE) were targeted a grand total of 18 times in Week 15. With only 11 total catches, this group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
