Coach Talk

DA nigga
Earning the win is most important, DA nigga, but we do know of one spot where we should get stronger as a team. Our starting running backs were severely outplayed this past week. Buoyed by Jamaal Williams (33 yards from scrimmage, no TDs) and Nick Chubb (99 yards, no TDs), our three RBs combined for only 15.5 points in Week 15, while the starting backfield for Boomkanani ◇ showed us how it's supposed to be done by putting up a score of 39.3. Let's put some extra effort into studying those playbooks!
Boomkanani ◇
Only one field goal on three attempts? Sounds like Justin Tucker might be kicking himself back into the free agent pool following this performance... especially with Boomkanani ◇ needing every possible point in this tight matchup.
