Coach Talk

Pull Out Game
Hey, we'll definitely take the win, Pull Out Game! Having said that, if we want to ramp our performance up to the next level, then we have found an area to improve; our starting wide receivers were utterly overmatched this past week. Julian Edelman (57 total yards, no TDs) and Sterling Shepard (75 yards, no TDs) combined for just 13.2 points in Week 5. For Yobogoya!, Michael Thomas and Antonio Brown doubled us up with a score of 29.5. Let's put some more effort into studying those playbooks!
Yobogoya!
Unless Yobogoya! wants to go full diva-mode, then "not getting enough looks" doesn't fly as an excuse this week. Our trio of pass-catchers (two WR, one TE) were targeted a grand total of 20 times in Week 5. With only 11 total catches, this group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
