Coach Talk

Chubbernaut
Earning the win is most important, Chubbernaut, but we certainly know of one spot where we should get better as a team. Our QB was thoroughly outplayed by the opposition. Our one signal-callers combined for just 5.5 points in Week 16, and the QBs for Avengers D.Samuel showed us up by recording a score of 32.98.
Avengers D.Samuel
Unless Avengers D.Samuel wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not seeing many looks" doesn't fly as an excuse this time around. As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR and one TE) combined to see a respectable 33 targets in Week 16. With only 15 total receptions, this group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
