Coach Talk

Joe Burr
Getting the win is most important, Joe Burr, but we certainly know of one spot where we can improve as a team. Our running backs were severely overmatched by the opposition. J.K. Dobbins (59 yards from scrimmage, no TDs) logged just 11.8 points in Week 16, and the starting backfield for WalkingWounded Vol. II showed us how it's supposed to be done by putting up a score of 31.1.

As we say goodbye to 2022, let's reflect on the fantasy season and appreciate all of the ups and the downs that came with it. Okay, well really just seven ups and nine downs, but still... Thanks for spending a great year with us, and here's to 2023!
