Coach Talk

Munoz
Whoa now Munoz, that's what rigorous preparation and executing the game plan will do for ya! A completion percentage of 90 percent for Drew Brees this past week. Quality and quantity! That Redskins defense didn't know what hit 'em! We know the GM of Munoz is grateful for that precision and attention to detail.
The Thurmanator
So, The Thurmanator, what'd your receiving crew do to get written out of their teams' game plans this week? Accumulating only 16 targets as a group in Week 5, our four starting pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) clearly need to get on their QBs' good sides this week in practice.
