Coach Talk

Lamb to the Slaughter
Sure, we ultimately got the win, but there's really no way sugarcoat this, Lamb to the Slaughter: our running backs were significantly overmatched by the opposition. Our backfield produced just 16.7 points in Week 14, while the starting backfield for Lightening Hopkins tripled us up with a score of 57.9. Let's work with the O-line to find some more holes in Week 15!
Lightening Hopkins
"Not seeing many chances" can't be a reasonable excuse this week for Lightening Hopkins. Our pass-catching corps (two WR, one TE) were targeted a grand total of 28 times in Week 14. With only 17 total receptions, this group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
