Coach Talk

Jersey Blues
Getting the win is most important, Jersey Blues, but we've also identified one spot where we should improve as a team: our starting quarterback was significantly outclassed this past week. Kirk Cousins went 22-of-38 for 276 yards and two touchdowns for JustTheTip*, and all Sam Darnold could produce was a 28-for-48 day for 239 passing yards. We need to put some more effort into scouting those upcoming defenses!
JustTheTip*
Unless JustTheTip* wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not getting enough looks" isn't really an excuse this week. Our pass-catching corps (two WR and one TE) combined to see a grand total of 17 targets in Week 13. Those players should try to get some extra practice reps in with their QBs, considering they managed only nine catches.
