Coach Talk

Thats Weird
Hey, we'll definitely take the win, Thats Weird! Having said that, if we want to take our performance to the next level, then we have found an area to improve. Our starting running backs were soundly outplayed by the opposition. Held back by Le'Veon Bell (38 yards from scrimmage, no TDs) and Jonathan Taylor (31 yards, no TDs), our three RBs combined for just 5.9 points in Week 8, and the starting backfield for Bert's Superb Team showed us up by recording a score of 32.1. Let's bounce back with a big statement in Week 9!
Bert's Superb Team
Bert's Superb Team will find it tough to complain about lack of opportunity this past week. As a group, our five pass-catchers (four WR, one TE) were targeted a grand total of 37 times in Week 8. With just 20 total catches, this group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
