Coach Talk

Shock and Awe
Countless hours in the film room. Innovative scheming from the Offensive Coordinator. 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, drawn up meticulously and executed deliberately. And the final result? A superb 31 completions on 35 attempts: good enough for an 89 percent completion percentage for Russell Wilson this past week. That Falcons secondary didn't stand a chance!.
Gulf War Warriors
Well, we can't really complain about a shortage of opportunities this week, can we? As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR, one TE) collectively saw a respectable 24 targets in Week 1. Chemistry could be an issue, as that group hauled in only 14 catches.
