Coach Talk

Orange Nation
Getting the win is most important, Orange Nation, but we also know of one spot where we should get stronger as a team: our wide receivers were severely outclassed this past week. Marquez Callaway (34 yards from scrimmage, no TDs) logged just 28.11 points in Week 14. The starting wideouts for The Footballas doubled us up with a score of 58.26. Let's put some more effort into scouting those upcoming defenses!
The Footballas
Luckily, this week's problem is pretty easy to spot, The Footballas. Going with Markus Golden and Kenny Moore II in a tough fantasy matchup... let's try to play with a full deck of cards next time.
