Coach Talk

Magnolia Boys
Getting the win is most important, Magnolia Boys, but we certainly know of one spot where we should improve as a team: our running backs were severely outplayed this past week. David Johnson (six yards from scrimmage, no TDs) and Le'Veon Bell (88 yards, no TDs) combined for just 9.4 points in Week 15. David Montgomery and Nick Chubb tripled us up with a score of 28.7.
Glenn's Great Team
With only four receptions this past week, the starting RBs for Glenn's Great Team should remind their quarterbacks to start checking down more frequently (and dial up a screen play or two).
