Coach Talk

Tucker and Run
Hey, we'll definitely take the win, Tucker and Run! Having said that, if we want to ramp our performance up to the next level, then we have found an area to improve; our wide receivers were severely outplayed this past week. Held back by Adam Thielen (25 yards from scrimmage, no TDs) and Terry McLaurin (55 yards, no TDs), our three WRs combined for just 13.5 points in Week 11. The starting wideouts for Jonathan Taylor Thomas almost quadrupled us with a score of 52.2. We need to sweet-talk the QB to get some more targets in Week 12!
Jonathan Taylor Thomas
Unless Jonathan Taylor Thomas wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not seeing enough looks" can't be an excuse this week. As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR, one TE) collectively saw a healthy 24 targets in Week 11. With just 14 total catches, this group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
