Coach Talk

LaphroaigBenchWarmer
Getting the win is most important, LaphroaigBenchWarmer, but we've also identified one spot where we should get stronger as a team. Our starting running backs were soundly outplayed this past week. Kerryon Johnson (62 total yards, no TDs) and Damien Williams (65 yards, one TD) combined for just 16 points in Week 1. Chris Carson and Christian McCaffrey tripled us up with a score of 49. Let's persuade the offensive coordinator to get some more touches in Week 2!
Carl's Team
Welp, we certainly can't complain about a shortage of opportunities this week, can we? Our trio of pass-catchers (two WR and one TE) were targeted a grand total of 22 times in Week 1. With just 13 total catches, that group may have some chemistry issues.
