Coach Talk

Soopa's Snipers
Earning the win is most important, Soopa's Snipers, but we do know of one spot where we can improve as a team. Our running backs were soundly outmatched this past week. Our backfield produced only 6 points in Week 15, while the starting backfield for McLaurin F1 showed us up by recording a score of 16.1.
McLaurin F1
Well, we certainly can't whine about a shortage of opportunities this time, can we? Our four pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) collectively got a grand total of 27 targets in Week 15. With only 13 total receptions, this group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
