Coach Talk

Carter's Fine Team
Earning the win is most important, Carter's Fine Team, but we've also identified one spot where we should improve as a team. Our running backs were utterly outplayed by the opposition. Our backfield produced only 15.8 points in Week 15, while the starting backfield for Hit'em Hard D doubled us up with a score of 33.9. Let's bounce back with a big statement in Week 16!
Hit'em Hard D
Unless Hit'em Hard D wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not seeing enough opportunities" isn't really a valid excuse this time around. Our pass-catching corps (three WR, one TE) collectively received a hearty 26 targets in Week 15. With only 15 total catches, this group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
