Coach Talk

What?!
Countless hours in the film room and in practice. Full attention from all 11 guys in the huddle. Every single route, every single pass, drawn up meticulously and executed flawlessly. And the final result? A superb 26 connections on 29 attempts: good enough for a completion percentage of 90% for Drew Brees this past week. That Redskins secondary didn't know what hit 'em!.
Splintered
Welp, we can't really complain about a shortage of opportunities this week, can we? As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR and one TE) collectively received a hearty 17 targets in Week 5. With only nine total receptions, this group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
