Coach Talk

Clockwork Orange
Infinite hours in the film room. Innovative play design from the coaching staff. Blood, sweat, and tears in training camp and in practice. 11 guys in the huddle, all on the same page. Each and every route, every single throw, meticulously planned and flawlessly executed. The final result? A superb 26 completions on 30 attempts: good enough for a completion percentage of 87 percent for Derek Carr this past week. The Chargers secondary didn't stand a chance!.
Carolina 19
Carolina 19 may find it tough to complain about lack of opportunities this past week. As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR, one TE) were targeted a healthy 23 times in Week 16. With only 14 total catches, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
