Coach Talk

LARRY'S ASS
Getting the win is most important, LARRY'S ASS, but we've also identified one spot where we can improve as a team: our starting running backs were soundly outplayed this past week. Frank Gore (15 yards from scrimmage, no TDs) and Marlon Mack (89 yards, no TDs) combined for only 10.4 points in Week 9. Miles Sanders and Le'Veon Bell doubled us up with a score of 24.9. Let's put some extra effort into studying those playbooks!
