Coach Talk

Jake Allard's Team
Earning the win is most important, Jake Allard's Team, but we do know of one spot where we can get stronger as a team; our quarterback was clearly outplayed this past week. Ryan Tannehill went 22-of-36 for 279 yards and two touchdowns for Seth's Team, and all Jacoby Brissett could manage was an 18-for-34 outing for 165 passing yards.
Seth's Team
Hey, Seth's Team, what'd your pass-catchers do to get written out of their teams' game plans this week? Accumulating just 12 targets combined this past week, our starting receiver crew (two WR, one TE) clearly need to get on their QBs' good sides this week in practice.
