Coach Talk

Tampa Bay Hitmen
Earning the win is most important, Tampa Bay Hitmen, but we've also identified one spot where we should get better as a team; our starting QB was thoroughly outplayed this past week. Lamar Jackson went 17-of-23 for 163 yards and one touchdowns for Fair Warning, and all Sam Darnold could manage through the air was 260 yards, one TD, and an ugly interception. Let's put some more effort into scouting those upcoming defenses!
Fair Warning
Welp, we certainly can't gripe about a lack of opportunities this week, can we? Our pass-catching corps (four WR, one TE) combined to receive a grand total of 34 targets in Week 9. Chemistry could be an issue, as that group pulled down just 20 catches.
