Coach Talk

Just The Tua Us
Hey, we'll definitely take the win, Just The Tua Us! Having said that, if we want to take our performance to the next level, then here's one area where we can improve. Our starting running backs were severely overmatched by the opposition. Najee Harris (26 total yards, no TDs) and Chuba Hubbard (41 yards, no TDs) combined for only 9.2 points in Week 15, and the starting backfield for Mean Machine tripled us up with a score of 28.5.
Mean Machine
Unless Mean Machine wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not seeing many chances" can't be a reasonable excuse this week. Our pass-catching corps (three WR, one TE) combined to receive a whopping 27 targets in Week 15. With just 16 total receptions, this group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
