Coach Talk

LegendaryDropShot
Getting the win is most important, LegendaryDropShot, but we've also identified one spot where we should get stronger as a team; our running backs were thoroughly outclassed this past week. Our backfield produced only 123.6 points in Week 3. Jonathan Taylor and James Robinson doubled us up with a score of 269.5. Let's sweet-talk the offensive coordinator to get some more touches in Week 4!
JR's Dazzling Team
JR's Dazzling Team may find it tough to gripe about lack of opportunities this past week. As a group, our pass-catching corps (four WR, one TE) combined to get a grand total of 30 targets in Week 3. Chemistry could be an issue, as that group reeled in only 17 balls.
