Coach Talk

Drafting like George Paton
Getting the win is most important, Drafting like George Paton, but we've also identified one spot where we can improve as a team. Our quarterback was clearly outplayed by the opposition. Our one men under center combined for only 17.5 points in Week 16, and the QBs for Dem Boyz doubled us up with a score of 41.48.
Dem Boyz
Dem Boyz will find it tough to complain about lack of opportunity this past week. Our four pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) were targeted a respectable 21 times in Week 16. With only 12 total catches, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
