Coach Talk

Batangas Balisong
Hey, creating mismatches is the key to football, right? Thanks to a solid display by Matt Ryan, we absolutely dominated Bye Week at the quarterback position this past week (53.9 points to 3.15). Ryan torched the Saints defense by logging 374 yards and five passing touchdowns.
Bye Week
Unless Bye Week wants to go full diva-mode, then "not getting many chances" is definitely not a valid excuse this week. Our trio of pass-catchers (two WR, one TE) collectively received a whopping 23 targets in Week 3. Those players should try to get some extra practice reps in with their QBs, considering they managed only 14 catches.
