Coach Talk

Kaolinite's Legit Team
Earning the win is most important, Kaolinite's Legit Team, but we've also identified one spot where we can get stronger as a team. Our quarterback was thoroughly outplayed by the opposition. Joe Burrow went 27-of-39 for 200 yards and four touchdowns for Ricky, and all Aaron Rodgers could manage was a 22-for-30 day, with 229 yards and one passing TD. We need to put some more effort into scouting those upcoming defenses!
Ricky
"Not getting enough opportunities" really isn't an excuse this week for Ricky. As a group, our pass-catching corps (two WR, one TE) were targeted a grand total of 23 times in Week 15. With just 13 total catches, this group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
