Coach Talk

TurnYaHeadAndCough
Getting the win is most important, TurnYaHeadAndCough, but we've also identified one spot where we can improve as a team. Our running backs were soundly outplayed by the opposition. Nyheim Hines (54 yards from scrimmage, no TDs) logged only 9 points in Week 15, and the starting backfield for irish's Best Team literally quadrupled us with a score of 40.
irish's Best Team
Fortunately, this week's problem isn't exactly rocket science, irish's Best Team. Going with Kyle Rudolph in a fantasy matchup where every point mattered... let's just assume it won't happen again and move on.
