Coach Talk

HeadKnockers
Sure, we ultimately got the win, but we can't deny it, HeadKnockers. Our starting QB was clearly outplayed this past week. Jameis Winston went 30-of-41 for 395 yards and four touchdowns for Tall City Hawgs, and all Kirk Cousins could manage through the air was 233 yards and one passing TD. We need to work overtime to get on the same page with our receivers this week!
Tall City Hawgs
Hey now, talk about under-utilized. As a group, the starting backfield for Tall City Hawgs collectively registered zero catch on only one target this past week. Instruct those offensive coordinators to draw up a screen play or two in Week 7!
