Coach Talk

Vultures
Getting the win is most important, Vultures, but we've also identified one spot where we can improve as a team. Our running backs were thoroughly overmatched by the opposition. Our backfield produced only 17.4 points in Week 15, and the starting backfield for Redlegs doubled us up with a score of 41.2.
Redlegs
It's entirely possible that Redlegs may be a better talent scout in the NFL than in fantasy football. With only 10 total targets in Week 15, their four wide receivers apparently spent the majority of their games running decoy routes and blocking downfield.
