Coach Talk

Axis 11 (#FJB)
Earning the win is most important, Axis 11 (#FJB), but we've also identified one spot where we can improve as a team. Our running backs were significantly outclassed this past week. Jamaal Williams (14 yards from scrimmage, no TDs) logged only 13.7 points in Week 16, and the starting backfield for Mike's Team doubled us up with a score of 30.8.
Mike's Team
Unless Mike's Team wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not seeing enough chances" is not a reasonable excuse this time around. As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR, one TE) were targeted a hearty 28 times in Week 16. With only 11 total catches, this group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
