Coach Talk

Pitty City!
Hey, we'll definitely take the win, Pitty City!! Having said that, if we want to ramp our performance up to the next level, then here's one area where we can improve; our running backs were clearly outmatched by the opposition. Zonovan Knight (13 yards from scrimmage, no TDs) and Najee Harris (95 yards, no TDs) combined for only 17.8 points in Week 16. Travis Etienne Jr. and Austin Ekeler doubled us up with a score of 40.1.
