Coach Talk

Foreman Grill
Getting the win is most important, Foreman Grill, but we certainly know of one spot where we can improve as a team. Our running backs were severely outmatched this past week. Held back by Rhamondre Stevenson (33 total yards, no TDs) and Dalvin Cook (77 yards, no TDs), our three RBs combined for only 22.63 points in Week 16, and the starting backfield for NY Giant Taints doubled us up with a score of 46.73.
NY Giant Taints
Well, NY Giant Taints, this week's problem was pretty easy to identify. Choosing to start Kyle Pitts and Jalen Hurts in a tough fantasy matchup... let's aim to play with a full deck of cards next time?
