Coach Talk

Zhuānyuán 專員
You know, the key to football is exploiting the mismatches. Thanks to a stellar performance by Deshaun Watson, we tripled GloriouslyVictorious at the quarterback position this past week (25.72 points to 7.92). Watson went 20-for-30 for 268 yards, three TDs, and an INT in a 30-28 loss to the Saints.
GloriouslyVictorious
Unless GloriouslyVictorious wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not getting many looks" is not a viable excuse this week. Our four pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) were targeted a grand total of 22 times in Week 1. With only 13 total catches, this group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
