Coach Talk

BROOKLYN ZOO
Countless hours in the film room. Innovative play design from the Offensive Coordinator. Blood, sweat, and tears in training camp and on the practice field. 11 guys in the huddle, all on the same page. Each and every route, every single throw, meticulously planned and flawlessly executed. The outcome? A staggering 29 connections on 30 attempts: good enough for a 97 percent completion percentage for Drew Brees this past week. That Colts secondary didn't see it coming!.
Beat-a-son
Well, we certainly can't whine about a shortage of opportunities this week, can we? Our pass-catching corps (two WR and one TE) collectively received a grand total of 17 targets in Week 15. Timing and chemistry appear to be issues as that group pulled down just 10 balls.
