Coach Talk

DITKA
Earning the win is most important, DITKA, but we've also identified one spot where we should get better as a team... our quarterback was utterly overmatched by the opposition. Our one men under center combined for just 17.02 points in Week 15, and the QBs for Ground Game Keeper doubled us up with a score of 37.82.
Ground Game Keeper
Talk about under-utilized. As a group, the starting backfield for Ground Game Keeper collectively logged just a couple of catches on five targets this past week.
