Coach Talk

The Revolutionaries
Innovative play design and countless hours in the film room. Blood, sweat, and tears in practice. Full attention from all 11 guys in the huddle. Every single route, every single throw, meticulously planned and flawlessly executed. The final result? A solid 25 connections on 30 attempts: good enough for a 83 percent completion percentage for Cam Newton this past week. The Seahawks secondary didn't see it coming!.
Dire Wolves
Well, we certainly can't complain about a shortage of opportunities this time, can we? Our pass-catching corps (three WR and one TE) combined to see a grand total of 34 targets in Week 12. Chemistry seems to be the primary problem, as that group notched just 20 receptions.
