Coach Talk

Cash Money
Hey, finding mismatches is the key to football, right? Thanks to a sound outing by Baker Mayfield, we tripled Mean Machine at the quarterback position this past week (34 points to 11). Mayfield went 19-for-35 for 325 yards, one TD, and an INT in a 23-3 triumph over the Jets.
Mean Machine
Unless Mean Machine wants to go full diva-mode, then "not seeing enough looks" doesn't fly as an excuse this time around. As a group, our pass-catching corps (two WR and one TE) were targeted a hearty 13 times in Week 2. Chemistry could be the primary problem, as that group notched only eight catches.
