Coach Talk

The Placebo Arm
Sure, we ultimately got the win, but there's really no other way to put it, The Placebo Arm. Our running backs were soundly outplayed by the opposition. Nyheim Hines (32 total yards, one TD) logged only 9.3 points in Week 13. Derrick Henry and Melvin Gordon III doubled us up with a score of 19.1. We need to work with the O-line to find some more holes in Week 14!
An Easy W
An Easy W will find it tough to gripe about lack of opportunities this past week. Our four pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) were targeted a grand total of 21 times in Week 13. Chemistry appears to be a problem, as that group hauled in just 12 balls.
