Coach Talk

BaLLCHiNiaNzzz
Hey, we'll definitely take the win, BaLLCHiNiaNzzz! Having said that, if we want to take our performance to the next level, then we have found an area to improve. Our running backs were utterly outplayed by the opposition. Our backfield produced just 20 points in Week 16, while the starting backfield for AA Ron Balakay doubled us up with a score of 40.6.
AA Ron Balakay
Welp, we certainly can't complain about a lack of opportunities this time, can we? As a group, our pass-catching corps (two WR, one TE) were targeted a grand total of 15 times in Week 16. Chemistry seems to be an issue, as that group recorded just nine catches.
