Coach Talk

Cervelo
Hey, we'll definitely take the win, Cervelo! Having said that, if we want to ramp our performance up to the next level, then we have found an area to improve. Our wide receivers were clearly outplayed this past week. Held back by CeeDee Lamb (21 yards from scrimmage, no TDs) and Jakobi Meyers (52 yards, no TDs), our three WRs combined for just 4 points in Week 12. The starting wideouts for dakoopals nearly tripled us up with a score of 11. We need to put some more effort into scouting those upcoming defenses!
dakoopals
Lots of cake, no icing: The six starting offensive skill players on dakoopals (three WRs, two RBs, one TE) combined to register a healthy 380 yards from scrimmage. None of those starters was able to score a touchdown in Week 12.
