Coach Talk

Blue Skywalker
Hey, we'll definitely take the win, Blue Skywalker! Having said that, if we want to take our performance to the next level, then here's one area where we can improve. Our QB was utterly outplayed this past week. Matt Ryan went 20-of-35 for 182 yards and two touchdowns for Endzone Dance, and all Brian Hoyer could manage through the air was 204 yards and one passing TD (plus three ugly interceptions). Let's put some more effort into scouting those upcoming defenses!
Endzone Dance
Unless Endzone Dance wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not seeing enough chances" is definitely not an excuse this time around. As a group, our pass-catching corps (two WR, one TE) combined to see a grand total of 26 targets in Week 10. With just 15 total receptions, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
