Coach Talk

八五零零
Innovative play design and countless hours in the film room. Blood, sweat, and tears in practice. 11 guys in the huddle, all on the same page. Each and every route, every single throw, meticulously planned and flawlessly executed. And the final result? A spectacular 26 completions on 29 attempts: good enough for a 90% completion percentage for Drew Brees this past week. The Redskins secondary didn't stand a chance!.
左仁佳's Team
With only three receptions on five targets this past week, the starting running backs for 左仁佳's Team should work to smooth things over with their quarterbacks... and remind them to start checking down more often.
