Coach Talk

New York Giants
Hey, we'll definitely take the win, New York Giants! Having said that, if we want to take our performance to the next level, then we have found an area to improve. Our running backs were utterly outclassed by the opposition. Alec Ingold (zero total yards, no TDs) logged only 5.3 points in Week 12, and the starting backfield for Seattle Seahawks showed us how it's supposed to be done by putting up a score of 36.6. We need to put some more effort into scouting these upcoming defenses!
Seattle Seahawks
Unless Seattle Seahawks wants to go full diva-mode, then "not seeing many looks" is definitely not a reasonable excuse this week. As a group, our seven pass-catchers (five WR and two TE) collectively received a healthy 32 targets in Week 12. With only 19 total receptions, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
