Coach Talk

Xheryk
Earning the win is most important, Xheryk, but we also know of one spot where we can get better as a team. Our starting quarterback was thoroughly outclassed this past week. Ryan Tannehill went 21-of-27 for 391 yards and three touchdowns for AvengerRam, and all Baker Mayfield could manage through the air was 192 passing yards and two ugly interceptions.
AvengerRam
There are plenty of lessons we can glean from the 2019 campaign and apply to next season, AvengerRam... it's never too early to begin strategizing and thinking about how to get better!
