Coach Talk

DJ Moore Cowbell
Sure, we ultimately earned the win, but we can't deny it, DJ Moore Cowbell; our quarterback was significantly outplayed this past week. Russell Wilson went 27-of-40 for 315 yards and five touchdowns for Chubby chasers, and all Matt Ryan could manage through the air was 238 yards and one passing TD (plus an ugly interception). We need to spend some extra time this week working with our receivers!
Chubby chasers
Ugh, talk about old-school ground n' pound. The starting backfield for Chubby chasers collectively logged only a pair of targets this past week. Tell those offensive coordinators to dial up a couple of screen plays in Week 4!
