Coach Talk

Wicked Clowns
Hey, football is all about exploiting the mismatches. Fueled by a thrilling showing from Kyler Murray, we thoroughly outplayed TB12 at the quarterback position this past week (37.92 points to 5.36). Murray went 21-for-26 for 283 yards and three TDs in a 34-31 loss to the Dolphins.
TB12
Unless TB12 wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not seeing many opportunities" is not a reasonable excuse this time around. As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR, two TE) collectively got a grand total of 34 targets in Week 9. Chemistry appears to be an issue, as that group recorded just 20 catches.
